4.21 Resource DiagnosticReport - Content

This resource maintained by the Orders and Observations Work Group

The findings and interpretation of diagnostic tests performed on patients, groups of patients, devices, and locations, and/or specimens derived from these. The report includes clinical context such as requesting and provider information, and some mix of atomic results, images, textual and coded interpretation, and formatted representation of diagnostic reports.

4.21.1 Scope and Usage

A diagnostic report (in contrast to the DiagnosticReport resource) is the set of information that is typically provided by a diagnostic service when investigations are complete. The information includes a mix of atomic results, text reports, images, and codes. The mix varies depending on the nature of the diagnostic procedure, and sometimes on the nature of the outcomes for a particular investigation. In FHIR, the report can conveyed in a variety of ways including a Document, RESTful API, or Messaging framework. Included within each of these, would be the DiagnosticReport resource itself.

The DiagnosticReport resource is suitable for the following kinds of diagnostic reports:

  • Laboratory (Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Microbiology, etc.)
  • Pathology / Histopathology / related disciplines
  • Imaging Investigations (x-ray, CT, MRI etc.)
  • Other diagnostics - Cardiology, Gastroenterology etc.

The DiagnosticReport resource is not intended to support cumulative result presentation (tabular presentation of past and present results in the resource). The DiagnosticReport resource does not yet provide full support for detailed structured reports of sequencing; this is planned for a future release.

4.21.2 Background and Context

The DiagnosticReport resource has the following aspects:

  • status, issued, identifier, performer, serviceCategory: information about the diagnostic report itself
  • subject, diagnostic[x]: information about the subject of the report
  • request details: a reference to 0 or more DiagnosticOrder resources to allow the report to connect to clinical work flows
  • results: a reference to 0 or more Observation resources which provide a hierarchical tree of groups of results
  • specimen details: a reference to 0 or more Specimen resources on which the report is based
  • conclusion, codedDiagnosis: support for structured reporting
  • images, representation: image and media representations of the report and supporting images

4.21.2.1 Diagnostic Report Names

The words "tests", "results", "observations", "panels" and "batteries" are often used interchangeably when describing the various parts of a diagnostic report. This leads to much confusion. The naming confusion is worsened because of the wide variety of forms that the result of a diagnostic investigation can take, as described above. Languages other than English have their own variations on this theme.

This resource uses one particular set of terms. A practitioner "requests" a set of "tests". The diagnostic service returns a "report" which may contain a "narrative" - a written summary of the outcomes, and/or "results" - the individual pieces of atomic data which each are "observations". The results are assembled in "groups" which are nested structures of Observations that can be used to represent relationships between the individual data items.

4.21.3.1 Terminology Bindings

PathDefinitionTypeReference
DiagnosticReport.name Codes that describe Diagnostic ReportsRequiredhttp://hl7.org/fhir/vs/report-names
DiagnosticReport.status The status of the diagnostic report as a wholeRequiredhttp://hl7.org/fhir/diagnostic-report-status
DiagnosticReport.serviceCategory Codes for diagnostic service sectionsExamplehttp://hl7.org/fhir/vs/diagnostic-service-sections
DiagnosticReport.codedDiagnosis Diagnoses codes provided as adjuncts to the reportExamplehttp://hl7.org/fhir/vs/clinical-findings

Examples of nested report groups: the antibody hepatitis order panel code for a group of hepatitis antibody related tests, or the organism code for a group of antibiotic isolate/sensitivities, or a set of perinatal measurements on a single fetus.

4.21.4 Notes:

  • If the diagnostic procedure was performed on the patient directly, diagnostic[x] is a dateTime, the time it was performed. If specimens were taken, the diagnostically relevant time can be derived from the specimen collection times, but since detailed specimen information is not always available, and nor is the diagnostically relevant time always exactly the specimen collection time (e.g. complex timed tests), the reports SHALL always include a diagnostic[x] element. Note that v2 messages often carry a diagnostically relevant time without carrying any specimen information.
  • A report always contains the name of the report itself. The report can also contain a set of observations, which can themselves be simple observations (e.g. atomic results) or can themselves be groups/panels of other observations. The Observation.name is a code that indicates the nature of the observation or panel (e.g. individual measure, organism isolate/sensitivity or antibody functional testing). When relevant, the observation can specify a particular specimen from which the result comes.
  • There is rarely a need for more than two levels of nesting in the Observation tree. One known use is for organism sensitivities - see this example.
  • Applications consuming diagnostic reports must take careful note of updated reports, and ensure that retracted reports are appropriately handled.
  • For applications providing diagnostic reports, a report should not be final until all the individual data items reported with it are final or amended. If a report is retracted, all the results should be retracted by replacing every result value with the Concept "withdrawn" in the internal terminology "Special values" (url = "http://hl7.org/fhir/special-values"), and setting the conclusion (if provided) and the text narrative to some text like "This report has been withdrawn" in the appropriate language. A reason for retraction may be provided in the narrative.

4.21.4.1 Report Content

This resource provides for 3 different ways of presenting the Diagnostic Report:

  • As atomic data items: a hierarchical set of nested references to Observation resources, one or more images, and possibly with a conclusion and/or one or more coded diagnoses
  • As narrative: an XHTML presentation in the standard resource narrative
  • As a "presented form": A rich text representation of the report - typically a PDF

Note that the conclusion and the coded diagnoses are part of the atomic data, and SHOULD be duplicated in the narrative and in the presented form if the latter is present. The narrative and the presented form serve the same function: a representation of the report for a human. The presented form is included since diagnostic service reports often contain presentation features that are not easy to reproduce in the HTML narrative. Whether or not the presented form is included, the narrative must be a clinically safe view of the diagnostic report; at a minimum, this could be fulfilled by a note indicating that the narrative is not proper representation of the report, and that the presented form must be used, or a generated view from the atomic data. However consumers of the report will best be served if the narrative contains clinically relevant data from the form. Commonly, the following patterns are used:

  • Simple Laboratory Reports: A single set of atomic observations, and a tabular presentation in narrative. Typically this is encountered in high volume areas such as Biochemistry and Hematology
  • Histopathology Report: A document report in a presented form and the narrative. Possibly a few key images, and some coded diagnoses for registries. If the service is creating a structured report, some atomic data may be included
  • imaging Report; A document report in a presented form and the narrative, with an imaging study reference and possibly some key images. Some imaging reports such as a Bone Density Scan may include some atomic data

Note that the nature of reports from the various disciplines that provide diagnostic reports are changing quickly, as expert systems provide improved narrative reporting in high volume reports, structured reporting brings additional data to areas that have classically been narrative based, and the nature of the imaging and laboratory procedures are merging. As a consequence the patterns described above are only examples of how a diagnostic report can be used.
