Topic: multiple condition types
Lital Inghel (Oct 06 2021 at 17:12):
we have in our database multiple condition types such as
problem,
socialHistory,
functionalStatus,
cognitiveStatus,
chiefComplaint,
diagnosis,
reaction
should we only output under conditions specific types, or we can output all of the above? not sure if there is a definition to that in FHIR

Social history is more a status for observations than conditions. "chief complaint" is a relationship of a Condition or Observation to a particular Encounter or Claim, not something that's intrinsic to the Condition or Operation itself. Similarly, Reaction is something that's asserting a relationship between a Condition and a medication or some other intervention and would typically be captured by linking from AllergyIntolerance or AdverseEvent. CognitiveStatus and FunctionalStatus are categories that can apply to observations. I suppose you could use them in Condition.category as well if you wanted. 'problem' and 'diagnosis' are already existing category codes.
