AU Base Implementation Guide

This page is part of the Australian Base IG (v4.2.1-preview: QA Preview) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. The current version which supersedes this version is 4.1.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: AU Base Diagnostic Result

Standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 1 Computable Name: AUBaseDiagnosticResult

This profile defines an observation structure to represent a diagnostic investigation result issued by a diagnostic service provider in an Australian context. This profile may be used to represent a specialist or other diagnostic (not imaging or pathology) observation including results of audiology studies, sleep studies or speech pathology. The observation may represent the result of a simple investigation or it may group the set of results of a multi-modality procedure or multi-test study / panel.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • The bodySite extension may be suitable for use where
    • body site is not implicit in the code found in Observation.code and
    • body site information is to be handled as a separate resource (e.g. to identify and track separately) instead of an inline coded element in Observation.bodySite.
  • See the AU Base Pathology Result profile for guidance on representing the result of a pathology test.
  • See the AU Base Diagnostic Imaging Result profile for guidance on representing the result of a radiology examination or an imaging intensive diagnostic investigation.
