The profile is provided for implementation guidance:
- it is not necessary to reference the profile in the Resource.meta.
Usage
The Observation resource is used to hold test results. There are up to 4 Observation resources in a multi-cancer early detection report.
- a grouper observation that organises the observation results
- an observation of whether cancer markers were detected or not
- an observation of the possible primary site for the detected cancer markers
- an observation of the possible secondary site for the detected cancer markers
For a test report that is not marked as cancelled
- the grouper observation SHALL be present
- the observation for cancer markers detected or not SHALL be present
- the observation of primary site MAY be present (if cancer markers are detected)
- the observation of secondary site MAY be present (if cancer markers are detected and a secondary site is reported)
For a test that is cancelled
- no observations shall be present (and the DiagnosticReport will have a status of 'cancelled')
