Hospital Discharge Report composition. A composition is a set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical document that provides a single coherent statement of meaning, establishes its own context and that has clinical attestation with regard to who is making the statement. While a Composition defines the structure, it does not actually contain the content: rather the full content of a document is contained in a Bundle, of which the Composition is the first resource contained.

Specifies that this composition refer to a Hospital Discharge Report

Who or what the composition is about. In general a composition can be about a person, (patient or healthcare practitioner), a device (e.g. a machine) or even a group of subjects (such as a document about a herd of livestock, or a set of patients that share a common exposure). For the hdr the subject is always the patient.

Identifies who is responsible for the information in the Hospital Discharge Report, not necessarily who typed it in.

Official human-readable label for the composition.

For this document should be "Hospital Discharge Report" or any equivalent translation

The root of the sections that make up the Hospital Discharge Report composition.

Hospital Admission evaluation

Admission evaluation should be reported only exceptionally, if it is relevant to ensure continuity of care.

Findings made by healthcare practitioner

Anthropometric Observations sub-section

The functional status section shall contain a narrative description of capability of the patient to perform acts of daily living, including possible needs of the patient to be continuously assessed by third parties. The invalidity status may in fact influence decisions about how to administer treatments. Profiles to express disabilities and functional assessments will be specified by future versions of this guide.

It describes capabilities of the patient to perform acts of daily living, including possible needs of the patient to be continuously assessed by third parties. The invalidity status may in fact influence decisions about how to administer treatments. Profiles to express disabilities and functional assessments will be specified by future versions of this guide.

This section includes basic information about hospital staty (encounter), diagnostic summary in narrative form, pharmacotherapy, major procedures, medical devices, significant findings during hospital stay and clinical synthesis.

Hospital Course sub sections

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.

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.

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.

Selected drug treatment during hospitalisation. Medicinal products that were administered during hospitalisation and whose administration has already been discontinued before discharge. 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.

Results of significant functional, diagnostic, and imaging examinations to ensure continuity of care, performed during hospitalisation. Results of examinations ordered but not yet delivered should be presented separately from results already delivered.

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.

Subsections of the Hospital Discharge Report Synthesis

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.

The hospital discharge status or disposition of the patient having a hospitalization.

This Section describes all aspects of the medical history of the patient even if not pertinent to the current procedure, and may include chief complaint, past medical history, social history, family history, surgical or procedure history, medication history, and other history information. The history may be limited to information pertinent to the current procedure or may be more comprehensive. The history may be reported as a collection of random clinical statements or it may be reported categorically. Categorical report formats may be divided into multiple subsections including Past Medical History, Social History.

This section documents the relevant allergies or intolerances (conditions) for that patient, describing the kind of reaction (e.g. rash, anaphylaxis,..); preferably the agents that cause it; and optionally the criticality and the certainty of the allergy. At a minimum, it should list currently active and any relevant historical allergies and adverse reactions. If no information about allergies is available, or if no allergies are known this should be clearly documented in the section.

HDR Allergy entry

// SHORT This section contains data describing an interest or worry about a health state or process that could possibly require attention, intervention, or management. A Health Concern is a health related matter that is of interest, importance or worry to someone, who may be the patient, patient's family or patient's health care provider. Health concerns are derived from a variety of sources within an EHR, such as Problem List, Family History, Social Histor, Social Worker Note, etc. Health concerns can be medical, surgical, nursing, allied health or patient-reported concerns. Problem Concerns are a subset of Health Concerns that have risen to the level of importance that they typically would belong on a classic “Problem List”, such as “Diabetes Mellitus” or “Family History of Melanoma” or “Tobacco abuse”. These are of broad interest to multiple members of the care team. Examples of other Health Concerns that might not typically be considered a Problem Concern include “Risk of Hyperkalemia” for a patient taking an ACE-inhibitor medication, or “Transportation difficulties” for someone who doesn't drive and has trouble getting to appointments, or “Under-insured” for someone who doesn't have sufficient insurance to properly cover their medical needs such as medications. These are typically most important to just a limited number of care team members

Hospital Discharge Report composition. A composition is a set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical document that provides a single coherent statement of meaning, establishes its own context and that has clinical attestation with regard to who is making the statement. While a Composition defines the structure, it does not actually contain the content: rather the full content of a document is contained in a Bundle, of which the Composition is the first resource contained.

While the focus of this specification is on patient-specific clinical statements, this resource can also apply to other healthcare-related statements such as study protocol designs, healthcare invoices and other activities that are not necessarily patient-specific or clinical.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

An Extension

A plan, proposal or order that is fulfilled in whole or in part by this event.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

Related artifacts such as additional documentation, justification, dependencies, bibliographic references, and predecessor and successor artifacts.

Each related artifact is either an attachment, or a reference to another resource, but not both.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it 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 is allowed to 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.

A version-independent identifier for the Composition. This identifier stays constant as the composition is changed over time.

Similar to ClinicalDocument/setId in CDA. See discussion in resource definition for how these relate.

The workflow/clinical status of this composition. The status is a marker for the clinical standing of the document.

If a composition is marked as withdrawn, the compositions/documents in the series, or data from the composition or document series, should never be displayed to a user without being clearly marked as untrustworthy. The flag "entered-in-error" is why this element is labeled as a modifier of other elements.

Some reporting work flows require that the original narrative of a final document never be altered; instead, only new narrative can be added. The composition resource has no explicit status for explicitly noting whether this business rule is in effect. This would be handled by an extension if required.

The workflow/clinical status of the composition.

Need to be able to mark interim, amended, or withdrawn compositions or documents.

Specifies that this composition refer to a Hospital Discharge Report

Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.

Type of a composition.

Key metadata element describing the composition, used in searching/filtering.

Who or what the composition is about. In general a composition can be about a person, (patient or healthcare practitioner), a device (e.g. a machine) or even a group of subjects (such as a document about a herd of livestock, or a set of patients that share a common exposure). For the hdr the subject is always the patient.

For clinical documents, this is usually the patient.

Essential metadata for searching for the composition. Identifies who and/or what the composition/document is about.

Describes the clinical encounter or type of care this documentation is associated with.

Provides context for the composition and supports searching.

The composition editing time, when the composition was last logically changed by the author.

The Last Modified Date on the composition may be after the date of the document was attested without being changed.

dateTime is used for tracking, organizing versions and searching. Note that this is the time of authoring. When packaged in a document, Bundle.timestamp is the date of packaging.

Identifies who is responsible for the information in the Hospital Discharge Report, not necessarily who typed it in.

Identifies who is responsible for the content.

Official human-readable label for the composition.

For this document should be "Hospital Discharge Report" or any equivalent translation

For many compositions, the title is the same as the text or a display name of Composition.type (e.g. a "consultation" or "progress note"). Note that CDA does not make title mandatory, but there are no known cases where it is useful for title to be omitted, so it is mandatory here. Feedback on this requirement is welcome during the trial use period.

The label for this particular section. This will be part of the rendered content for the document, and is often used to build a table of contents.

The title identifies the section for a human reader. The title must be consistent with the narrative of the resource that is the target of the section.content reference. Generally, sections SHOULD have titles, but in some documents, it is unnecessary or inappropriate. Typically, this is where a section has subsections that have their own adequately distinguishing title, or documents that only have a single section. Most Implementation Guides will make section title to be a required element.

Section headings are often standardized for different types of documents. They give guidance to humans on how the document is organized.

A concept that may be defined by a formal reference to a terminology or ontology or may be provided by text.

Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.

Classification of a section of a composition/document.
