Active as of 2024-12-12 Computable Name: MedComHomeCareObservation

This profile is intended to be used in HomeCareObservation to hold information about the observation results.

Scope and usage

The MedComHomeCareObservation profile holds information about the observation results from the municipal acute care team The MedComHomeCareObservations are collected in a MedComHomeCareDiagnosticReport, that is sent as a MedComHomeCareObservation message to the general practitioner.

The observations results needs to have a observation code that defines the type of the observation. The code for the observation shall be seleceted from a national analysis repertoire, that defines which observations and assesments methods the municipal acute care team can performe and send to the general practitioner. The national analysis repertoire can be found here.

Codes

In a Observation resource, codes from CodeSystems are used to describe what is observed in the elements Observation.code.coding. In the element Observation.code.coding two CodeSystem are specified.

  • The NPU codes are the preferred first choice in official Danish health IT-systems and most used laboratory codes. NPU codes hase NPU prefixes in the begining of the code.
  • MedCom codes are Danish codes that are refered as MCS- codes.

It is required to send the long and short name of the analysis. Both the long and short name of the performed observation can be fund on med medcom's terminology server. Click here to see NPU observation codes. Click here to see MCS observation codes.

Status

In a Observation resource, it is required to specify the status of the result. When nurse from the acute care team perform the analysis and the result from the analysis is ready then the. HomeCareObservation.status shall be #final.

Interpretation

In HomeCareObservation it is required to send information that result of the observation is not interpreted (Dansk: ikke reference vurderet). Therefore i is required that the observation.interpretation.coding.code is "NI" not interpreted.

Observation result

The result of the observation shall be expresed using eighter Observation.value[x]:valueQuantity and Observation.value[x]:valueString element. If the observation result is numerical then the Observation.value[x]:valueQuantity shall be used and if the result is alphanumeric e.g. positive/negative then the Observation.value[x]:valueString element shall be used. Both elemets Observation.value[x]:valueQuantity og Observation.value[x]:valueString are restricted to max 12 character due to limitations in laborartory kort.
