Topic: Link DiagnosticReports hierarchically


view this post on Zulip Patrick Werner (May 16 2018 at 10:12):

During the discussion in the Clinical Genomics WG we faced the problem of Link DiagnosticReports in a hierarchically way.
Example:
two different lab send their TestResults as DiagnosticReport, the physician then wants to aggregate these two and make a meta interpretation -> DiagnosticReport "basedOn" on other DiagnosticReports.
It would be possible if DiagnosticReport.result(Observation) would be changed to DiagnosticReport.result(Observation|DiagnosticReport)

This is being discussed in O&O right now.

perfect, it would be really nice to have it

Consensus seems to be that this change seems reasonable. O&O would like some documented use cases so they can ensure solution is complete.

There are several standard extensions to DiagnosticReport. Do they meet your use case? they all start with 'diagnostic-report' and were the result of discussion re AP reporting.

good point. The summaryOf Extension looks suitable.

We would love to have examples that exploit these extension if you are willing to let us publish them...
