Topic: Results for Reflexed Orders
Craig Newman (Oct 28 2019 at 18:44):
I've seen a few discussions about results for reflexed tests but I'm not sure if I've seen definitive advice for this. Assuming that the result for a ServiceRequest result in a DiagnosticReport, if one of the Observations in the DiagnosticReport triggers a reflex test, how should the results of the reflex test be reported? Should this result in a new DiagnosticReport? If so, should that new DiagnosticReport reference the parent Diagnostic report using the "extends" extension? Is there another way to link the two DiagnosticReport other than creating a ServiceRequest for the reflexed test and linking the ServiceRequests together? I suppose the results could just be added to the parent DiagnosticReport, but that doesn't seem quite right.

My immediate take is that you would update (with an appropriate status) the original DiagnosticReport with the additional result data from the reflex test(s) when that becomes available.

I think losing the connection between the reflex order and its result would be problematic.
