Overview

This is a preliminary implementation guide created by Healthcare Services Platform Consortium as a means of publishing the top 2000 LOINC lab FHIR profiles. This publication is intended to facilitate discussion about the content and design for these models. Currently only the quantitative labs have been generated and published here. The coded (ordinal, nominal, etc.) will be published in the near future with the remaining types to follow.

The goal of this ballot is to get domain expert feedback, particularly from those engaged in the Orders and Observations realm or others who are expert clinical modelers, on the style that CIMI should utilize for expressing detailed clinical models in the area of laboratory results. This particular ballot only contains models for quantitative lab results. Subsequent versions of lab profiles will include coded, ordinal, narrative lab results, etc. We seek feedback primarily on the general style and approach used, rather than on individual models. Some specific questions we have include:

Notes to Commentors

In reviewing this ballot, we recommend focusing on the following example models. All the other laboratory profiles in this submission share a similar pattern. We encourage reviewers to look at any and all profiles you are interested in from the full list of profiles and provide feedback.
