Resource Profile: CH LAB-Report Observation Results: Panel

This profile constrains the ChLabObservationResultsLaboratory profile to represent only a panel / battery of laboratory test results for the HL7 Swiss project. The top-level observation contains only further observations-panels and observations-single-tests in the hasMember element. The observation-panels may carry a conclusion in the note element and/or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the interpretation element; value[x] and component elements are not allowed and have to be shown in the observation-single-test profile.

This profile constrains the ChLabObservationResultsLaboratory profile to represent a panel or battery of laboratory test results for the HL7 Swiss project.

Usage:

• Derived from this Resource Profile: CH LAB-Report Observation Results CBC Panel - Blood by Automated count, Results in nested Profiles and CH LAB-Report Observation Results: Renal Insufficiency Panel
• Refer to this Resource Profile: CH LAB-Report Observation Results: Panel
• Examples for this Resource Profile: Observation/BloodGroupPanel and Observation/ObservationPanel

dom-3	error	Observation	If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource : contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference | %resource.descendants().as(canonical) | %resource.descendants().as(uri) | %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()
dom-4	error	Observation	If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated : contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()
dom-5	error	Observation	If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label : contained.meta.security.empty()
dom-6	best practice	Observation	A resource should have narrative for robust management : text.`div`.exists()
ele-1	error	**ALL** elements	All FHIR elements must have a @value or children : hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
eu-lab-1	error	Observation	If observation status is other then "registered" or "cancelled", at least one of these Observation elements shall be provided: "value", "dataAbsentReason", "hasMember" or "component" : (status in ('registered'|'cancelled')) or value.exists() or hasMember.exists() or component.exists() or dataAbsentReason.exists()
eu-lab-2	error	Observation	If observation has components and observation status is other then "registered" or "cancelled", at least one of these Observation.component elements shall be provided: "value" or "dataAbsentReason" : component.exists() implies (status in ('registered'|'cancelled')) or component.value.exists() or component.dataAbsentReason.exists()
ext-1	error	**ALL** extensions	Must have either extensions or value[x], not both : extension.exists() != value.exists()
obs-3	error	Observation.referenceRange	Must have at least a low or a high or text : low.exists() or high.exists() or text.exists()
obs-6	error	Observation	dataAbsentReason SHALL only be present if Observation.value[x] is not present : dataAbsentReason.empty() or value.empty()
obs-7	error	Observation	If Observation.code is the same as an Observation.component.code then the value element associated with the code SHALL NOT be present : value.empty() or component.code.where(coding.intersect(%resource.code.coding).exists()).empty()
qty-3	error	Observation.component.value[x]:valueQuantity	If a code for the unit is present, the system SHALL also be present : code.empty() or system.exists()
rat-1	error	Observation.component.value[x]:valueRatio	Numerator and denominator SHALL both be present, or both are absent. If both are absent, there SHALL be some extension present : (numerator.empty() xor denominator.exists()) and (numerator.exists() or extension.exists())
rng-2	error	Observation.component.value[x]:valueRange	If present, low SHALL have a lower value than high : low.empty() or high.empty() or (low <= high)
