Introduction

This implementation guide (IG) is provided by MedCom to define MedCom FHIR ®© ConditionList (Danish: Diagnoseoversigt) in document-based exchange of condition lists (Danish: diagnoseoversigt) in the Danish healthcare system. The project Shared Condition Overview (Danish: Deling af diagnoseoversigt) is owned by the Danish Health Data Agency (Danish: Sundhedsdatastyrelsen), to which MedCom has provided this standard, called ConditionList.

This IG contains profiles for MedCom ConditionList. The purpose of a ConditionList is to gather selected diagnoses into a condition list, thereby providing a well-defined overview of the patient's current health status and previously significant relevant diagnoses. The diagnoses included in the ConditionList are exclusively selected to be shared by the patient's general practitioner.

More information about the project Shared Condition Overview can be found here.

ConditionList

The structure of a ConditionList is depicted in the following diagram:

Shows the general MedCom document model. Each document must at least contain the following resources: Bundle, Composition, Organization, Patient and Condition.

ConditionList follows the general MedCom FHIR Document model. This includes the resources Bundle, Composition, Organization, Patient and if relevant Practitioner. To hold information about the patient's condition(s), the resource Condition is also included.

Profiles

The following sections describe the overall purpose of each profile.

MedComConditionListBundle

MedComConditionListBundle is used as the Bundle profile for the standard. The Bundle profile acts as the container for all included resources and they must all be referenced from the Bundle.entry element, which is illustrated in the examples.

MedComConditionListComposition

MedComConditionListComposition creates the structure of the document. It is specifically designed for structuring patients' diagnoses in ConditionList, inheriting from MedComDocumentComposition. The key differences are: the Composition.type is fixed to "Problem list - Reported" to standardize the document type; the Composition.title must be the following in Danish: "Diagnoseoversigt for 'CPR-nummer'"; and the Composition.section.entry is restricted to reference MedComConditionListCondition.

MedComConditionListCondition

MedComConditionListCondition is the profile that specifies each diagnosis in a ConditionList. It inherits from DkCoreCondition and further restricts the profile, for example is only codes from SKS-D or ICPC-2-DK that is allowed in the standard.

MedComDocumentPatient

MedComDocumentPatient describes the basic requirements for information about citizens and patients when exchanging a document. The profile inherits from DkCorePatient and further limit the requirements, e.g. may documents only be exchanged for patients with a CPR-number. It is not allowed to add a replacement-CPR (Danish: erstatningsCPR), as this is not supported in the infrastructure. To limit the MustSupport elements, this profiles does not inherit from MedComCorePatient.

MedComDocumentOrganization

MedComDocumentOrganization is a profile representing Danish healthcare organizations that acts as the author institution in FHIR Documents. The profile inherits from MedComCoreOrganization. It allows for an additional identifier, called "Ydernummer".

MedComDocumentPractitioner

MedComDocumentPractitioner represents the health care professional that acts as the author person. The profile inherits from MedComCorePractitioner and further requires a given and family name to be present.

MedComConditionListDocumentReference

This profil must not be exchanged but can be used for internal validation of the metadata associated with a document, as the DocumentReference contains the same information as the IHE XDS metadata standard. Metadata used for exchange of ConditionLists must obey to IHE XDS metadata standard. This can be done by mapping the content of metadata to the DocumentReference and validating this against the IG.

Timestamps

A ConditionList includes several timestamps. These timestamps are present in the profiles MedComConditionListBundle, MedComConditionListComposition and MedComConditionListCondition. They have different purposes:

  • Bundle.timestamp: Represents the time the bundle was assembled. This timestamp must be included.
  • Composition.date: The last update date of the condition list performed by the patient's general practitioner must be included (Danish: senest opdateret).
  • Condition.recordedDate: The date of the individual diagnosis entry in the database (Danish: registreringsdato).
  • Condition.onsetDateTime: Actual or estimated date the condition began, in the opinion of the patient's general practitioner (Danish: debutdato).
  • Condition.abatementDateTime: The date or estimated date that the condition resolved or went into remission (Danish: afslutningsdato).

The 2nd example includes all the above timestamps.

Examples

The examples page different examples of the ConditionList standard. Each example is accompanied by a short description of the example.

Terminology

Dependencies

This IG has a dependency to the MedCom Core IG, MedCom FHIR Document IG and DK-core v. 3.2.0, where the latter is defined by HL7 Denmark.

Download

Content in this IG can be downloaded in npm format under Download. This can be used to validate local FHIR profiles against.

Quality Assurance Report

In the Quality Assurance report (QA-report) for this IG, there is an error with the following description: 'Reference is remote which isn’t supported by the specified aggregation mode(s) for the reference (bundled)'. The error occurs when creating instances of the Composition profile, and is due to some elements having a Bundled flag {b}. However, the referenced profiles are not included in a Bundle, since the instance only represents a part of the entire document. This must not influence the implementation by IT-vendors.
