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.

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 the resource is marked as confidential.
