Condition REST Endpoints
Description
This topic describes information for the Condition resource.
Overview
The Condition resource is used to record problems, diagnoses, or other health matters that are concerning to a patient.
Depending on the site, problems and diagnoses are used in different ways. Diagnoses are recorded on an encounter to document conditions addressed or treated during a specific patient visit. For U.S. customers, diagnoses support financial or reimbursement workflows. Problems are ongoing or chronic conditions that are managed over every visit and not associated with a specific encounter. A condition may be both a diagnosis and a problem.
Conditions, specifically diagnoses, are often associated with orders to document the medical necessity of a specific medication or procedure order and may be referenced by other resources as a reason for an action or order.
Health concerns are also returned as part of the Condition resource and represent other concerns that a patient may have, such as financial or social risks.
Note:
The examples provided here are non-normative and replaying them in the public sandbox is not guaranteed to yield the results shown on the site. Themeta.security
field is present only when a problem or diagnosis is marked as confidential.
