Topic: DiagnosticReport Category and Code
Nihar (Sep 28 2021 at 12:18):
Hello,
We just wanted to validate that sending only the 'text' element under the DiagosticReport.category & DiagosticReport.code is acceptable way of implementing and responding to data request for US Core DiagnosticReport Profile for Report and Note exchange?
Example:
"resourceType" : "DiagnosticReport",
"id" : "progressreport0I920",
"meta" : {
"profile" : [
"http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-diagnosticreport-note"
]
},
"status" : "final",
"category" : [
{
"text" : "Cardiovascular"
}
],
"code" : {
"text" : "Cardiovascular assessment"
},
Please Guide. Thanks in advance.

I'd say no, the binding of those is 'Extensible' and there must be LOIC codes for cardiovascular assessment (or pretty much anything else you could report on)

"Extensible" means that if the concept you want to share can be coded with the value set, you must send a code from the value set.
