Description

DiagnosticReport

This topic describes information for the DiagnosticReport resource.

Overview

Note:

The FHIR API endpoints described below are currently pending production deployment for electronic health record (EHR) environments. Developers are welcome and encouraged to develop against the specifications in anticipation of production availability, which will be announced at a later date.

The DiagnosticReport resource provides a set of information and interpretation following a diagnostic service or procedure such as a radiology, pathology, or cardiology report. The DiagnosticReport resource produces information about the diagnostic report itself, about the subject, and about the specimen of the report in the case of laboratory tests. The information produced can include a mix of atomic results, textual reports, images, and codes, depending on the types of diagnostic services being retrieved.

Report conclusions can be expressed as a text blob or structured coded data, or attached as a fully formatted report (such as a PDF file). Image and media representations of the report and supporting images can be referenced in the DiagnosticReport resource. This resource can retrieve reports of various Status types. Consider these statuses for filtering purposes if you only want to retrieve Final or Corrected results, or if you want to exclude any Entered-in-Error results. See the Status field below for more detail.

If you want to retrieve results without textual reports, such as general laboratory or vital sign results, use the Observation resource instead.
