1.0 StructureDefinition-au-diagnosticobservation

AU Base Diagnostic Observation [FMM Level 0]

This profile defines an observation structure that includes core localisation concepts for use as a diagnostic result observation in an Australian context.

Forthcoming work around this profile is expected to result in a value set representing the Standard for Pathology Informatics in Australia - Reporting codes bound as a slice on the code element.

The body-site-instance extension may be used when a coded concept does not provide the necessary detail needed for the use case.

Extensions

Extensions used in this profile:

  • Observation: performer-party [1]
  • Observation: body-site-instance [1]
