Condition REST Endpoints
Description
This topic describes information for the Condition resource.
Overview
The Condition resource is used to record details about a patient's problems, diagnoses, or other health matters that are concerning to the patient. Conditions are commonly captured during the encounter or visit. This information is usually captured both as initial suspected problems and confirmed or refuted problems or diagnoses at the time of discharge. This resource may be referenced by other resources as a reason for an action or order such as the reason for ordering a medication or procedure.
This resource is not intended to record subjective or objective information that could lead to the recording of a condition such as signs or symptoms. Signs and symptoms are typically documented as observations, although some persistent symptoms such as fever or headache may be documented before the definitive diagnosis is recognized by a clinician.
