Topic: Expressing imaging study results
Floyd Eisenberg (Jun 11 2019 at 13:32):
Some requests for evaluating care quality include results from imaging studies such as Ultrasound. In USCoreR4 build the DiagnosticReport-note seems to be an appropriate way to indicate the types of study performed with a status of final, amended, corrected or appended and a result referencing specific observations with their respective LOINC codes. [Examples - Ejection Fraction in an ultrasound study; fetal size/gestational age as a finding in a fetal ultrasound). Is this an appropriate way to model requests for such results, or might it be better to request a separate Observation for each (noting that the observation would likely require use of the FHIR R4 resource since USCore R4 profiles only specific observations? Or should a request for such data include BOTH options to assure retrieving all results?

"better to request a separate Observation for each" -- for each what? I certainly think that diagnostic reports pointing to observations sounds right. I'm sorry, I think I'm missing the issue here.
