Topic: Blood Group/Type

Where does FHIR store blood group/ type of a person. I looked @ patient and person resources but couldn't find anything related

Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 20 2018 at 15:48):

That information would be captured as an Observation

Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 20 2018 at 15:49):

We've discussed standardizing it in the same way we have some of the vital signs observations, but I'm not sure whether that's going to be part of R4 or not. @Eric Haas ?

Brett Esler (Jun 21 2018 at 12:51):

Suggestion: I have LOINC 882-1 for code and SNOMED is-a 365640002 for the value - sample below. Any other suggestions?

likely for R5. Best for some outside organization to pilot and implement a set of core profiles first using international usable terminology ( rules out Snomed)

Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 22 2018 at 13:33):

(Unless we can get a more workable agreement in place with SNOMED International around the use of the relevant codes, though for something like this, mapping might still be tempting.)

Jeffy Mathew Jose (Jun 22 2018 at 15:01):

Thanks guys

Simone Heckmann (Jul 05 2019 at 12:06):

What's the current status here? Are there already any international profiles available for Blood Type?

Rob Hausam (Jul 07 2019 at 04:07):

I'm not aware that CIMI has done anything with this yet. But blood type has been used as an example of the issues with multiple representations that CIMI intends to address. @Stan Huff @Susan Matney @Mark Kramer

Simone Heckmann (Jul 08 2019 at 07:57):

Is IPS planning on including it? It seems relevant...

Rob Hausam (Jul 08 2019 at 15:39):

I agree that blood group/type is relevant to consider for IPS. It's supported, but so far we haven't called it out specifically. We did include the SNOMED CT finding codes for blood group in the free set request for IPS, so those codes are available for anyone to use if they want to report blood group/type in an IPS instance.

Simone Heckmann (Oct 30 2019 at 15:04):

Any news on an international profile for blood type?
