Interoperabilidade

Identifiers assigned to this order instance by the orderer and/or the receiver and/or order fulfiller.

The identifier.type element is used to distinguish between the identifiers assigned by the orderer (known as the 'Placer' in HL7 v2) and the producer of the observations in response to the order (known as the 'Filler' in HL7 v2). For further discussion and examples see the resource notes section below.

Protocol or definition followed by this request.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

Plan/proposal/order fulfilled by this request.

A shared identifier common to all procedure or diagnostic requests that were authorized more or less simultaneously by a single author, representing the composite or group identifier.

Some business processes need to know if multiple items were ordered as part of the same "requisition" for billing or other purposes.

Requests are linked either by a "basedOn" relationship (i.e. one request is fulfilling another) or by having a common requisition. Requests that are part of the same requisition are generally treated independently from the perspective of changing their state or maintaining them after initial creation.

The status of the order.

The status is generally fully in the control of the requester - they determine whether the order is draft or active and, after it has been activated, competed, cancelled or suspended. States relating to the activities of the performer are reflected on either the corresponding event (see Event Pattern for general discussion) or using the Task resource.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.

Whether the request is a proposal, plan, an original order or a reflex order.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the intent alters when and how the resource is actually applicable.

Indicates how quickly the ProcedureRequest should be addressed with respect to other requests.

Note that FHIR strings may not exceed 1MB in size

If missing, this task should be performed with normal priority

Set this to true if the record is saying that the procedure should NOT be performed.

Used for do not ambulate, do not elevate head of bed, do not flush NG tube, do not take blood pressure on a certain arm, etc.

This element is labeled as a modifier because it indicates that a procedure shouldn't happen, instead of a request for it to happen. In general, only the code and timeframe will be present, though occasional additional qualifiers such as body site or even performer could be included to narrow the scope of the prohibition. If the ProcedureRequest.code and ProcedureRequest.doNotPerform both contain negation, that will reinforce prohibition and should not have a double negative interpretation.

A code that classifies the procedure for searching, sorting and display purposes (e.g. "Surgical Procedure").

Used for filtering what procedure request are retrieved and displayed.

There may be multiple axis of categorization depending on the context or use case for retrieving or displaying the resource. The level of granularity is defined by the category concepts in the value set.

The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.

Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol.

The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should de-reference to some definition that establish the system clearly and unambiguously.

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured. and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).

Need to refer to a particular code in the system.

Note that FHIR strings may not exceed 1MB in size

A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system.

Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system.

Note that FHIR strings may not exceed 1MB in size

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - i.e. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).

This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing.

Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely.

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

On whom or what the procedure or diagnostic is to be performed. This is usually a human patient, but can also be requested on animals, groups of humans or animals, devices such as dialysis machines, or even locations (typically for environmental scans).

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

An encounter or episode of care that provides additional information about the healthcare context in which this request is made.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

The date/time at which the diagnostic testing should occur.

When the request transitioned to being actionable.

The device, practitioner or organization who initiated the request.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

The organization the device or practitioner was acting on behalf of.

Practitioners and Devices can be associated with multiple organizations. This element indicates which organization they were acting on behalf of when authoring the request.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

Desired type of performer for doing the diagnostic testing.

this is a role, not a participation type. I.e. does not describe the task, but describes the capacity. For example, “compounding pharmacy” or “psychiatrist” or “internal referral”.

The desired perfomer for doing the diagnostic testing. For example, the surgeon, dermatopathologist, endoscopist, etc.

If needed, use an extension for listing alternative performers and/or roles and/or preference.

An explanation or justification for why this diagnostic investigation is being requested in coded or textual form. This is often for billing purposes. May relate to the resources referred to in supportingInformation.

This may be used to decide how the diagnostic investigation will be performed, or even if it will be performed at all. Use CodeableConcept text element if the data is free (uncoded) text as shown in the CT Scan example.

Indicates another resource that provides a justification for why this diagnostic investigation is being requested. May relate to the resources referred to in supportingInformation.

This may be used to decide how the diagnostic investigation will be performed, or even if it will be performed at all. Use CodeableConcept text element if the data is free (uncoded) text as shown in the CT Scan example.

Additional clinical information about the patient or specimen that may influence the procedure or diagnostics or their interpretations. This information includes diagnosis, clinical findings and other observations. In laboratory ordering these are typically referred to as "ask at order entry questions (AOEs)". This includes observations explicitly requested by the producer (filler) to provide context or supporting information needed to complete the order. For example, reporting the amount of inspired oxygen for blood gas measurements.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

One or more specimens that the laboratory procedure will use.

Many diagnostic procedures need a specimen, but the request itself is not actually about the specimen. This element is for when the diagnostic is requested on already existing specimens and the request points to the specimen it applies to. Conversely, If the request is entered first with an unknown specimen, The Specimen resource references to the ProcedureRequest.

Anatomic location where the procedure should be performed. This is the target site.

Knowing where the procedure is performed is important for tracking if multiple sites are possible.

Only used if not implicit in the code found in ProcedureRequest.type. If the use case requires BodySite to be handled as a separate resource instead of an inline coded element (e.g. to identify and track separately) then use the standard extension procedurerequest-targetBodySite.

Any other notes and comments made about the service request. For example, letting provider know that "patient hates needles" or other provider instructions.

For systems that do not have structured annotations, they can simply communicate a single annotation with no author or time. This element may need to be included in narrative because of the potential for modifying information. Annotations SHOULD NOT be used to communicate "modifying" information that could be computable. (This is a SHOULD because enforcing user behavior is nearly impossible).

Key events in the history of the request.

This may not include provenances for all versions of the request – only those deemed “relevant” or important. This SHALL NOT include the Provenance associated with this current version of the resource. (If that provenance is deemed to be a “relevant” change, it will need to be added as part of a later update. Until then, it can be queried directly as the Provenance that points to this version using _revinclude All Provenances should have some historical version of this Request as their subject.
