0. Condition
Definition

For representation of SDOH conditions.

ShortDetailed information about SDOH conditions, problems or diagnoses
Comments

Many of the SDOHCC profiles reference one another. One flow supported by this IG is that QuestionnaireResponses result in Observations that can be used as evidence for Conditions that can lead to Goals, ServiceRequests and Procedures. However, alternatives paths (e.g., to arrive at SDOH Conditions) are also possible.

One specific use for this profile is to represent a Health Concern that is either; 1) directly asserted based on the patient’s answer to a specific question from an SDOH screening questionnaire or 2) computed/generated based on the patient’s answers to multiple questions. The questions and answers from the screening questionnaire are also represented using SDC Questionnaire, SDC QuestionnaireResponse and SDOHCC Screening Response Observation.

    8. Condition.verificationStatus
    Comments

    verificationStatus is not required. For example, when a patient complains of stress during a provider encounter, there is not likely going to be a verification status. The data type is CodeableConcept because verificationStatus has some clinical judgment involved, such that there might need to be more specificity than the required FHIR value set allows. For example, a SNOMED coding might allow for additional specificity.

    For SDOH conditions that are autogenerated based on a questionnaire response, the Condition.asserter is a “Device” AND Condition.Category should be "health-concern". In that case, Condition.verificationStatus should be "unconfirmed" and should be changed to “confirmed” only after review and concurrence by the provider and patient.

    10. Condition.category
    Requirements

    For a condition that is autogenerated based only on an individual's responses to an SDOH questionnaire, category should be "health-concern".

      Comments

      For SDOH conditions that have their onset over an extended (or fuzzy) period (e.g., the past month), Condition.onset may use a lower precision representation (e.g., month/year or year) as opposed to a higher precision representation (e.g., year/month/date/hour/min).

      22. Condition.abatement[x]
      Definition

      The estimated or actual dateTime or Period that the condition resolved or went into remission. This is called "abatement" because of the many overloaded connotations associated with "remission" or "resolution".

      Comments

      There is no explicit distinction between resolution and remission because in many cases the distinction is not clear. If there is no abatement element, it is unknown whether the condition has resolved or entered remission; applications and users should generally assume that the condition is still valid. When abatementString exists, it implies the condition is abated.

      For SDOH Conditions that have a fuzzy abatement period, a lower precision representation (e.g., month/year or year) may be used. However, for SDOH Conditions that end at a specific point in time (e.g., food insecurity may abate upon acquiring a new job or gaining eligibility to a food program) a higher precision representation (e.g., year/month/date) may also be used.

      References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

      For a condition that is autogenerated based on the patient directly answering a specific question from an SDOH screening questionnaire, the Condition.asserter should be the patient. For a condition that is autogenerated based on a computation that uses the patient’s answers to multiple questions, Condition.asserter should reference “Device” (using the using AsserterDevice extension) to specify the device used to compute the condition.

      Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.

      Information represented by Condition.evidence.code may overlap significantly with information represented by Condition.evidence.detail. Multiple approaches to representing the same information may negatively impact interoperability. Therefore, where similar infomation could be provided by either Condition.evidence.code or Condition.evidence.detail, it is recommended that Condition.evidence.detail should be used as supporting evidence for the condition.

        ShortA set of rules under which this content was created
        Comments

        Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

            Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

            Definition

            The verification status to support the clinical status of the condition.

            Shortunconfirmed | provisional | differential | confirmed | refuted | entered-in-error
            Comments

            verificationStatus is not required. For example, when a patient complains of stress during a provider encounter, there is not likely going to be a verification status. The data type is CodeableConcept because verificationStatus has some clinical judgment involved, such that there might need to be more specificity than the required FHIR value set allows. For example, a SNOMED coding might allow for additional specificity.

            For SDOH conditions that are autogenerated based on a questionnaire response, the Condition.asserter is a “Device” AND Condition.Category should be "health-concern". In that case, Condition.verificationStatus should be "unconfirmed" and should be changed to “confirmed” only after review and concurrence by the provider and patient.


            verificationStatus is not required. For example, when a patient has abdominal pain in the ED, there is not likely going to be a verification status. The data type is CodeableConcept because verificationStatus has some clinical judgment involved, such that there might need to be more specificity than the required FHIR value set allows. For example, a SNOMED coding might allow for additional specificity.

              Comments

              There is no explicit distinction between resolution and remission because in many cases the distinction is not clear. If there is no abatement element, it is unknown whether the condition has resolved or entered remission; applications and users should generally assume that the condition is still valid. When abatementString exists, it implies the condition is abated.

              For SDOH Conditions that have a fuzzy abatement period, a lower precision representation (e.g., month/year or year) may be used. However, for SDOH Conditions that end at a specific point in time (e.g., food insecurity may abate upon acquiring a new job or gaining eligibility to a food program) a higher precision representation (e.g., year/month/date) may also be used.

                Many of the SDOHCC profiles reference one another. One flow supported by this IG is that QuestionnaireResponses result in Observations that can be used as evidence for Conditions that can lead to Goals, ServiceRequests and Procedures. However, alternatives paths (e.g., to arrive at SDOH Conditions) are also possible.

                One specific use for this profile is to represent a Health Concern that is either; 1) directly asserted based on the patient’s answer to a specific question from an SDOH screening questionnaire or 2) computed/generated based on the patient’s answers to multiple questions. The questions and answers from the screening questionnaire are also represented using SDC Questionnaire, SDC QuestionnaireResponse and SDOHCC Screening Response Observation.

                Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element.

                    This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.

                    verificationStatus is not required. For example, when a patient complains of stress during a provider encounter, there is not likely going to be a verification status. The data type is CodeableConcept because verificationStatus has some clinical judgment involved, such that there might need to be more specificity than the required FHIR value set allows. For example, a SNOMED coding might allow for additional specificity.

                    For SDOH conditions that are autogenerated based on a questionnaire response, the Condition.asserter is a “Device” AND Condition.Category should be "health-concern". In that case, Condition.verificationStatus should be "unconfirmed" and should be changed to “confirmed” only after review and concurrence by the provider and patient.

                      The estimated or actual dateTime or Period that the condition resolved or went into remission. This is called "abatement" because of the many overloaded connotations associated with "remission" or "resolution".

                      Comments

                      There is no explicit distinction between resolution and remission because in many cases the distinction is not clear. If there is no abatement element, it is unknown whether the condition has resolved or entered remission; applications and users should generally assume that the condition is still valid. When abatementString exists, it implies the condition is abated.

                      For SDOH Conditions that have a fuzzy abatement period, a lower precision representation (e.g., month/year or year) may be used. However, for SDOH Conditions that end at a specific point in time (e.g., food insecurity may abate upon acquiring a new job or gaining eligibility to a food program) a higher precision representation (e.g., year/month/date) may also be used.

                      For a condition that is autogenerated based on the patient directly answering a specific question from an SDOH screening questionnaire, the Condition.asserter should be the patient. For a condition that is autogenerated based on a computation that uses the patient’s answers to multiple questions, Condition.asserter should reference “Device” (using the using AsserterDevice extension) to specify the device used to compute the condition.

Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

                      Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

                      Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.

                      Information represented by Condition.evidence.code may overlap significantly with information represented by Condition.evidence.detail. Multiple approaches to representing the same information may negatively impact interoperability. Therefore, where similar infomation could be provided by either Condition.evidence.code or Condition.evidence.detail, it is recommended that Condition.evidence.detail should be used as supporting evidence for the condition.

                      References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.
