Stream: Orders and Observation WG
Topic: Reference ClinicalImpression from Observation
Martin Grundberg (Mar 25 2020 at 08:19):
We are looking at Observations in the context of an A&E triage. We have after long consideration decided to go with the ClinicalImpression resource for the triage itself. It will also include a number of observations, like bp.
When looking at the Observation resource (and bp profile) there is the observation.basedOn attribute which seems to point out if the observation was a result or part of some event. ClinicalImpression is an event type resource, but not available as one of the referenceable resource types. Is this a correct limitation? Should we use observation.partOf for this use case?

Can the reference go the other way? Could you use ClinicalImpression.supportingInfo as a reference to Observation for your use case? Maybe you can further explain what you are trying to do, but the way I think of using ClinicalImpression for the triage that would make sense.
