Short DisplayClinical issue with action
Cardinality0..*
TypeDomainResource
Alternate NamesDDI; drug-drug interaction; Contraindication; Alert
Summaryfalse
DetectedIssue.identifier
Element IdDetectedIssue.identifier
Definition

Business identifier associated with the detected issue record.

Short DisplayUnique id for the detected issue
NoteThis is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Cardinality0..*
TypeIdentifier
Requirements

Allows linking instances of the same detected issue found on different servers.

Summarytrue
DetectedIssue.status
Element IdDetectedIssue.status
Definition

Indicates the status of the detected issue.

Short Displaypreliminary | final | entered-in-error | mitigated
Cardinality1..1
Terminology BindingDetected Issue Status (Required)
Typecode
Is Modifiertrue (Reason: This element is labeled as a modifier because it is a status element that contains the code entered-in-error which means that the resource should not be treated as valid)
Alternate Namesstatus
Summarytrue
Comments

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains the code entered-in-error that marks the issue as not currently valid.

DetectedIssue.category
Element IdDetectedIssue.category
Definition

A code that classifies the general type of detected issue.

Short DisplayType of detected issue, e.g. drug-drug, duplicate therapy, etc
Cardinality0..*
Terminology BindingDetected Issue Category (Preferred)
TypeCodeableConcept
Requirements

Used for filtering what detected issues are retrieved and displayed.

Summaryfalse
Comments

In addition to the required category valueset, this element allows various categorization schemes based on the owner’s definition of the category and effectively multiple categories can be used at once. The level of granularity is defined by the category concepts in the value set.

DetectedIssue.code
Element IdDetectedIssue.code
Definition

Identifies the specific type of issue identified.

Short DisplaySpecific type of detected issue, e.g. drug-drug, duplicate therapy, etc
Cardinality0..1
Terminology BindingDetected Issue Category (Preferred)
TypeCodeableConcept
Alternate Namestype
Summarytrue
DetectedIssue.severity
Element IdDetectedIssue.severity
Definition

Indicates the degree of importance associated with the identified issue based on the potential impact on the patient.

Short Displayhigh | moderate | low
Cardinality0..1
Terminology BindingDetected Issue Severity (Required)
Typecode
Alternate Namesseverity
Summarytrue
DetectedIssue.subject
Element IdDetectedIssue.subject
Definition

Indicates the subject whose record the detected issue is associated with.

Short DisplayAssociated subject
Cardinality0..1
TypeReference(Patient | Group | Device | Location | Organization | Procedure | Practitioner | Medication | Substance | BiologicallyDerivedProduct | NutritionProduct)
Requirements

While the subject could be inferred by tracing the subject of the implicated resources, it's useful to have a direct link for query purposes.

Summarytrue
DetectedIssue.encounter
Element IdDetectedIssue.encounter
Definition

The encounter during which this issue was detected.

Short DisplayEncounter detected issue is part of
Cardinality0..1
TypeReference(Encounter)
Requirements

Links this detected issue to the Encounter context.

Alternate Namescontext
Summarytrue
Comments

This will typically be the encounter the DetectedIssue was created during, but some DetectedIssues may be initiated prior to or after the official completion of an encounter but still be tied to the context of the encounter (e.g. pre-admission lab tests).

DetectedIssue.identified[x]
Element IdDetectedIssue.identified[x]
Definition

The date or period when the detected issue was initially identified.

Short DisplayWhen identified
Cardinality0..1
TypedateTime|Period
[x] NoteSee Choice of Datatypes for further information about how to use [x]
Requirements

No-one can be responsible for mitigation prior to the issue being identified.

Summarytrue

Indicates the resource representing the current activity or proposed activity that is potentially problematic.

Short DisplayProblem resource
Cardinality0..*
TypeReference(Any)
Alternate Namescause
Summarytrue
Comments

There's an implicit constraint on the number of implicated resources based on DetectedIssue.type; e.g. For drug-drug, there would be more than one. For timing, there would typically only be one.
