Usage
The Observation Lab Result resource is intended to capture relevant patient lab results. RAPIDS will accept all lab results but specifically uses the lithium blood concentration.
Notes
Codification is enforced. LOINC codes are prefered but where a LOINC code is not available (e.g., Sheehan Disability Scale) SNOMED CT will be accepted. The following specific codes are provided for reference:
Profile | Type | System | Code | Value | Units |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Observation Lab Result | Lithium | LOINC | 3719-2 | Numeric Value | mEq/L |
Other lab results may be sent to RAPIDS but may not be used.
RAPIDS uses only the following data elements on the resource:
- effectiveDateTime
- value
- subject
Other fields may be sent but may be ignored by RAPIDS.
