Hospital Discharge Report - Hospital stay - A.2.6 eHN

All problems/diagnoses that affect care during the inpatient case or are important to be recorded to ensure continuity of care. The diagnostic summary differentiates, in accordance with the international recommendation, between problems treated during hospital stay and other (untreated) problems. Treated problems are problems that were the subject of diagnostics, therapy, nursing, or (continuous) monitoring during the hospitalisation. Furthermore problems could be divided into three categories: problems present on admission (POA), conditions acquired during hospital stay (HAC) and problems that cannot be classified as being of any of the two (N/A). The diagnostic summary contains all conditions as they were recognised at the end of hospitalisation, after all examinations. This section contains concise, well specified, codeable, summary of problems. Problems are ordered by importance (main problems first) during hospital stay. Description of the problem might be completed with additional details in the medical history section and/or in the Synthesis section.

Problem specification in narrative form

Problem details include code that identifies problem, specification of the body structure, laterality, and other aspects of the problem.

Onset date of a problem/condition

The date or estimated date that the condition resolved or went into remission.

Category of the problem allows flagging for conditions acquired during hospital stay.

Class of the problem (treated, other) in relation to the hospital encounter. Treated problems were treated or affected provisioning of care (diagnostics, therapy, nursing, monitoring) during the hospital encounter. At least one problem should be marked as Treated. Other problems are recorded only if they are important for continuity of care (after discharge).

Status of the condition/problem (active, resolved, inactive, ...)

Describes the reason for which the status of the problem changed from current to inactive (e.g. surgical procedure, medical treatment, etc.). This field includes 'free text' if the resolution circumstances are not already included in other fields such as surgical procedure, medical device, etc., e.g. hepatic cystectomy (this will be the resolution circumstances for the problem 'hepatic cyst' and will be included in surgical procedures).

A subjective assessment of the severity of the condition as evaluated by the clinician.

Stage/grade usually assessed formally using a specific staging/grading system. Multiple assessment systems could be used.

Significant surgical and non-surgical procedures performed during hospitalisation which are significant for continuity of care, e.g. surgeries and other 'instrumental' interventions (endoscopic, intravascular), chemotherapy, radiotherapy, purification methods (dialysis, hemoperfusion), circulation support methods (counterpulsation, etc.), administration of blood derivatives or others. This section does not include purely diagnostic procedures (MRI, CT, etc.). If no significant performance has been performed, this fact must be explicitly stated using the IPS Absent and Unknown Data.

A reference to the device or devices that is/are implanted, removed, or otherwise manipulated (calibration, battery replacement, fitting a prosthesis, attaching a wound-vac, etc.) as a focal portion of the Procedure.

Implants and used medical devices that affected or may affect the provision of health services (diagnosis and treatment). Also medical devices explanted, or its use was stopped during hospitalisation. If the section is blank, the reason must be explicitly stated using the IPS Absent and Unknown Data coding system

Only products which are important for continuity of care (antibiotics other than completely routine, corticosteroids in high doses, etc.) will be listed. Products which administration will continue after discharge will be also recorder in the Medication summary section.Medicinal products, the administration of which was started during hospitalisation, but is also recommended after discharge, will be listed in the summary table in the recommendation section.

Result of the observation including numeric and coded results of the measurement, details about how the tests were done to get the result values, information about reference ranges and result interpretation. Content of the observation result will vary according to the type of the observation.

With certain observation results, e.g. there may also be an interpreter or a person responsible for validation.

This section provides clinical synthesis (e.g. description of reasons and course of hospital stay) clustered by managed conditions, Clinical synthesis may include clinical reasoning (differential diagnostics, explanation of clinical context) in clinically complex conditions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Date and time of the observation

Status of the observation (e.g. registered, preliminary, final)

Narrative representation of the observation result and findings.

Observation details include code that identifies observation, specification of the observed body structure or specimen, date and time of the specimen collection, observation method or protocol used and other aspects of the observation.

Result of the observation including numeric and coded results of the measurement, details about how the tests were done to get the result values, information about reference ranges and result interpretation. Content of the observation result will vary according to the type of the observation.

With certain observation results, e.g. there may also be an interpreter or a person responsible for validation.

This section provides clinical synthesis (e.g. description of reasons and course of hospital stay) clustered by managed conditions, Clinical synthesis may include clinical reasoning (differential diagnostics, explanation of clinical context) in clinically complex conditions.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Summary description of the reason and course of hospitalisation for a specific problem.

The clinical summary can be concluded with a clinical consideration (diff. diagnosis, explanation of context, etc.) for clinically complex conditions.
