Status: DRAFT: For Review

Introduction

This profile sets out the expectations for the interweave breathing air observation resource. UK Core does not have a profile for this observation, and therefore the base for this profile is Interweave-Observation.

We stipulate the use of SNOMED concept codes where possible, and the score should be provided within the value[x] field.

Mandatory fields

The following mandatory fields are defined:

1. status – Fixed value of ‘final’. Only finalised observations should be shared.

2. category – Fixed value of ‘survey’.

3. code – This is the type of observation i.e. the name of the score. We state a preferred binding on this field of the SNOMED concept: 363788007 (observable entity), in recognition of the large amount of local code sets which are currently in use and the difficulties which data providers may have mapping their local codes to SNOMED. Should you wish to use a local code set to populate this field, as detailed in the conformance section of this implementation guide, you must contact us for explicit approval to do so..

4. subject – Reference to the patient who is the subject of this measurement.

5. effective – An important field to provide details of the time/time period during which the observation was taken.

6. value[x] – The result presented as a score within the value[x] field.

Must Support fields

In addition the following fields are "Must Support" - ie they must be populated if relevant and known.

1. identifier – A Local Id should be provided, such that could be quoted if manually getting in touch to find out more.

2. encounter – his will typically be the encounter the event occurred within, but some events may be initiated prior to or after the official completion of an encounter but still be tied to the context of the encounter (e.g. pre-admission laboratory tests). For some observations it may be important to know the link between an observation and a particular encounter.

3. performer – We limit this field to reference practitioner / practitionerRole/ CareTeam resources only. The organization responsible for the observation can be obtained via the provenance tag.

4. note – Comments in addition to the result are often recorded for observations, it is therefore important to provide this field when available to give the consumer the full result information.

5. interpretation – This is also known as the ‘abnormal flag’ and is regularly recorded alongside the actual result. It is used to signal the meaning of the result.

6. referenceRange – To aid the interpretation of a result, it is important to include the reference range.

Optional fields

Other fields are optional and may be populated if known - on the understanding that not all data consumers will necessarily make use of them. Points of note include:

• method – Option to provide the mechanism used to perform the observation.

• device – Opportunity to provide a link to a device resource from which was used to obtain the observation.

Discouraged or Removed fields

• Component – Removed to aid the data consumer, we ask that the result is provided in the valueQuantity field and not as a component.

• dataAbsentReason – Removed as a score should always be available.

• bodySite – Removed as not required for a score observation.

• specimen – Removed as not required for a score observation.

• basedOn – This field is discouraged as it does not appear to provide information which would be beneficial in a shared care record. It also allows references to a raft of request/order resources which introduces a lot of complexity for a data consumer.

• partOf – This field is discouraged as it does not appear to provide information which would be beneficial in a shared care record. It also allows references to a raft of request/order resources which introduces a lot of complexity for a data consumer.

• derivedFrom – This field is discouraged as it does not appear to provide information which would be beneficial in a shared care record. It also allows references to a raft of request/order resources which introduces a lot of complexity for a data consumer.

• issued – This field has been removed as this information can be taken from the mandatory meta.lastUpdated field, and to also avoid any confusion with the other date fields.
