RiskAssessment

This resource captures predicted outcomes for a patient or population on the basis of source information. Examples include:

  • A prognosis statement for a particular condition
  • Risk of health outcome (heart attack, particular type of cancer) on the basis of lifestyle factors and/or family history
  • List of potential health risks based on a patient's genetic analysis
  • A prediction of outbreak infection rates within a geography based on immunization rates

This resource can be used to represent the results of formal scoring/decision support tools that evaluate risk. It can also be used to capture a practitioner's subjective assessment of the patient's risk based on existing knowledge and previous experience.
