This profile defines an observation structure to represent a imaging examination result issued by a diagnostic service provider in an Australian context. The observation may represent the conclusions of a diagnostic procedure such as Left retina Foveal thickness by OCT, or it may group the set of results produced by a multi-test study or panel such as Biophysical profile panel.

Breaking Change in 5.0.0 (see all)

Implementers should note that the use of BodyStructure Reference Extension and FHIR R4 Observation.bodySite are now mutually exclusive in AU Base Diagnostic Imaging Result. This aligns with future constraints using the FHIR R5 Observation resource and makes the source of related body site unambiguous.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • The BodyStructure Reference extension may be suitable for use where
    • body site is not implicit in the code found in Observation.code and
    • body site information cannot be adequately captured by a single inline coded element in Observation.bodySite.
  • When sending an observation that represents a study series or panel:
    • the group / panel code is sent in Observation.code
    • the overall comments are sent in Observation.note
    • the global interpretation by the producer of the study is sent in Observation.interpretation
    • individual results may be sent in Observation.component or by referencing individual observation results in Observation.hasMember
  • When sending observations that group the set of results of a multi-modality procedure:
    • A multi-modality procedure observation is sent with individual component examinations in Observation.hasMember.
    • An individual component examination observation is referenced by that multi-modality procedure observation (Observation.hasMember) rather than directly at the diagnostic report level (DiagnosticReport.result).
