minimal Common Oncology Data Elements (mCODE) Implementation Guide
2.1.0 - STU 2.1 United States of America flag

This page is part of the HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide: minimal Common Oncology Data Elements (mCODE) Release 1 - US Realm | STU1 (v2.1.0: STU 2) based on FHIR R4. This is the current published version. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: Cancer Stage Group Profile

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/mcode/StructureDefinition/mcode-cancer-stage-group Version: 2.1.0
Active as of 2023-03-21 Computable Name: CancerStageGroup

The extent of the cancer in the body, according to a given cancer staging classification system, based on evidence such as physical examination, imaging, and/or biopsy or based on pathologic analysis of a specimen.

Conformance

Observation resources associated with an in-scope patient with Observation.code set to LOINC 21908-9, 21902-2, or 21914-7 MUST conform to this profile. Beyond this requirement, a producer of resources SHOULD ensure that any resource instance associated with an mCODE patient that would reasonably be expected to conform to this profile SHOULD be published in this form.
