Artifact Packages
This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.
General constraints on FHIR resources to be adhered to as part of the CG implementation guide that apply regardless of what area(s) of genomics are of interest
• Genomics Report | Defines the overall genomic report |
• Specimen | Constraints on Specimen for use with clinical genomics reporting |
• Recommended Followup | Task describing the followup that is recommended |
• Request for Genomics Test | The lab order or request that triggered the execution of the genomics test |
• Grouper | Organizes information within a genomic report |
• Overall Interpretation | Provides a coarse overall interpretation of the genomic results reported. |
• Haplotype | Assertion of a particular haplotype on the basis of one or more variants |
• Genotype | Assertion of a particular genotype on the basis of one or more variants or haplotypes |
• Variant | Details about a set of changes in the tested sample compared to a reference sequence. |
• Sequence Phase Relationship | Indicates whether two entities are in Cis (same strand) or Trans (opposite strand) relationship to each other |
• Inherited Disease Pathogenicity | Provides an indication of whether there's a pathologic risk associated with a particular genotype, haplotype, variant or combination there-of, and if so, what the associated pathology is. |
• Region Studied | Provides a description of the region studied. |
Profiles related to the reporting of somatic genomic issues
• Somatic Diagnostic Implication | Finding of whether a particular somatic genotype/haplotype/variation or combination-thereof supports or opposes the diagnosis of a particular cancer |
• Somatic Prognostic Implication | Finding of whether a particular somatic genotype/haplotype/variation or combination-thereof predicts a particular outcome for the specified cancer - either on its own or in conjunction with one or more interventions |
• Somatic Predictive Implication | Finding of whether a particular somatic genotype/haplotype/variation or combination-thereof predicts the implication of a specified medication or combination of medications |
Profiles for reports relating to genomic implication on medication use and effectiveness
• Medication Metabolism Implication | Assertion of the expected implication of a particular genotype on the ability of the subject to metabolize medications |
• Medication Transporter Implication | Assertion of the expected implication of a particular genotype on the ability of the subject to actively transport medications |
• Medication Efficacy Implication | Assertion of the expected implication of a particular genotype on the efficacy of medications for the subject |
• High Risk Allele | Assertion of whether the patient has a high-risk allele |
• Medication Usage Implication | Task describing what sort of change (if any) should be made in a patient's medication based on an identified genotype |
• Current Medication | MedicationStatement describing a med potentially being taken by the patient that may require adjustment |
Abstract profiles holding common properties, outlining similarities in implementable profiles
• Genomics Base | Base profile that defines characteristics shared by all genomic observations |
• Genomic Finding | Properties common to genomic findings whose results are expressed as computable discrete elements (e.g. genotypes, haplotypes, variants, etc.) |
• Genomic Implication | Abstract profile for observations describing the implication of one or more genomic observations. |
• Medication Implication | Abstract profile with common properties for observations that convey the potential implication of a genomic characteristics on a medication |
• Somatic Implication | Finding of whether a particular somatic genotype/haplotype/variation or combination-thereof provides evidence for or against a particular type of cancer or the effectiveness of different interventions |
Extensions defined as part of the CG implementation guide
• Related Artifact | Captures citations, evidence and other supporting documentation for the observation or report |
• Recommended Action | References a proposed action that is recommended based on the results of the report or observations |
• Supporting Information | Additional information relevant to interpreting/understanding the report |
