Scope of coverage
DEFINITION (OBSERVATION):
The observation resource covers simple as well as complex assertions and measurements made about a patient, specimen, device or other subject.
Fundamentally, observations can be as simple as name/value pair assertions with little structure, as well as observations nested within other observations to represent a rich and complex observation, although there are several resources such as DiagnosticReport to manage and represent aggregation patterns for observations. Expected uses for this resource include:
- Vital signs: temperature, blood pressure, respiration rate
- Laboratory Data and other Diagnostic Measures
- Measurements emitted by Devices
- Clinical assessments such as APGAR
- Personal characteristics: height, weight, eye-color
- Diagnoses (Note: track-able conditions, allergies, adverse reactions and more complex structures are handled elsewhere)
- Social history: tobacco use, family supports, cognitive status
- Core characteristics: pregnancy status, death assertion
RIM scope
- ACT: Observation (ClassCode=OBS and descendants)
- ACT: Observation (Code=ObservationType)
Resource appropriateness
Observations are a central element in healthcare, used to support diagnosis, monitor progress, determine baselines and patterns and even capture demographic characteristics.
