How to Construct Bundles
Test Report Bundles
With the receiver being a FHIR API, the Bundle is now of type "document". See FHIR Documents for more information and rules, along with Resource Bundle - Constraints which contains specific rules for document Bundle conformance.
The following is a list of the profiles that are used to construct a Bundle for a pathology test report:
- Composition-eu-lab
- UKCore-DiagnosticReport-Lab
- UKCore-Observation-Lab (Test Group)
- UKCore-Observation-Lab (Test Result)
- UKCore-Organization
- UKCore-Patient
- UKCore-Practitioner
- UKCore-PractitionerRole
- UKCore-ServiceRequest-Lab
- UKCore-Specimen
The following FHIR resources are also used in this context but do not have corresponding UK Core profiles. Please refer to the descriptions of the resources in the base FHIR R4 Specification for further details:
The following diagram illustrates the relationships between each of the profiles that form the Bundle. The arrows represent the direction of the references between the profiles.
