Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the GuidanceResponse resource.
GuidanceResponse | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse |
Definition | A guidance response is the formal response to a guidance request, including any output parameters returned by the evaluation, as well as the description of any proposed actions to be taken. |
Cardinality | 0..* |
Type | DomainResource |
Requirements | The GuidanceResponse resource supports recording the results of decision support interactions, reportability determination for public health, as well as the communication of additional data requirements for subsequent interactions. |
GuidanceResponse.requestIdentifier | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.requestIdentifier |
Definition | The identifier of the request associated with this response. If an identifier was given as part of the request, it will be reproduced here to enable the requester to more easily identify the response in a multi-request scenario. |
Cardinality | 0..1 |
Type | Identifier |
Summary | true |
GuidanceResponse.identifier | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.identifier |
Definition | Allows a service to provide unique, business identifiers for the response. |
Note | This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion) |
Cardinality | 0..* |
Type | Identifier |
Summary | true |
GuidanceResponse.module[x] | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.module[x] |
Definition | An identifier, CodeableConcept or canonical reference to the guidance that was requested. |
Cardinality | 1..1 |
Type | uri|canonical|CodeableConcept |
[x] Note | See Choice of Data Types for further information about how to use [x] |
Summary | true |
GuidanceResponse.status | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.status |
Definition | The status of the response. If the evaluation is completed successfully, the status will indicate success. However, in order to complete the evaluation, the engine may require more information. In this case, the status will be data-required, and the response will contain a description of the additional required information. If the evaluation completed successfully, but the engine determines that a potentially more accurate response could be provided if more data was available, the status will be data-requested, and the response will contain a description of the additional requested information. |
Cardinality | 1..1 |
Terminology Binding | GuidanceResponseStatus (Required) |
Type | code |
Is Modifier | true (Reason: This element is labelled as a modifier because it is a status element that contains status entered-in-error which means that the resource should not be treated as valid) |
Summary | true |
Comments | This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid. |
GuidanceResponse.subject | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.subject |
Definition | The patient for which the request was processed. |
Cardinality | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(Patient | Group) |
GuidanceResponse.encounter | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.encounter |
Definition | The encounter during which this response was created or to which the creation of this record is tightly associated. |
Cardinality | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(Encounter) |
Comments | This will typically be the encounter the event occurred within, but some activities may be initiated prior to or after the official copmletion of an encounter but still be tied to the context of the encounter. |
GuidanceResponse.occurrenceDateTime | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.occurrenceDateTime |
Definition | Indicates when the guidance response was processed. |
Cardinality | 0..1 |
Type | dateTime |
GuidanceResponse.performer | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.performer |
Definition | Provides a reference to the device that performed the guidance. |
Cardinality | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(Device) |
GuidanceResponse.reasonCode | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.reasonCode |
Definition | Describes the reason for the guidance response in coded or textual form. |
Cardinality | 0..* |
Type | CodeableConcept |
GuidanceResponse.reasonReference | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.reasonReference |
Definition | Indicates the reason the request was initiated. This is typically provided as a parameter to the evaluation and echoed by the service, although for some use cases, such as subscription- or event-based scenarios, it may provide an indication of the cause for the response. |
Cardinality | 0..* |
Type | Reference(Condition | Observation | DiagnosticReport | DocumentReference) |
GuidanceResponse.note | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.note |
Definition | Provides a mechanism to communicate additional information about the response. |
Cardinality | 0..* |
Type | Annotation |
GuidanceResponse.evaluationMessage | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.evaluationMessage |
Definition | Messages resulting from the evaluation of the artifact or artifacts. As part of evaluating the request, the engine may produce informational or warning messages. These messages will be provided by this element. |
Cardinality | 0..* |
Type | Reference(OperationOutcome) |
GuidanceResponse.outputParameters | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.outputParameters |
Definition | The output parameters of the evaluation, if any. Many modules will result in the return of specific resources such as procedure or communication requests that are returned as part of the operation result. However, modules may define specific outputs that would be returned as the result of the evaluation, and these would be returned in this element. |
Cardinality | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(Parameters) |
GuidanceResponse.result | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.result |
Definition | The actions, if any, produced by the evaluation of the artifact. |
Cardinality | 0..1 |
Type | Reference(CarePlan | RequestGroup) |
GuidanceResponse.dataRequirement | |
Element Id | GuidanceResponse.dataRequirement |
Definition | If the evaluation could not be completed due to lack of information, or additional information would potentially result in a more accurate response, this element will a description of the data required in order to proceed with the evaluation. A subsequent request to the service should include this data. |
