Info

A relative reference range states a change relative to some reference base. This way, a measured value can be compared to a reference base taking the relative reference range into account.

There are several ways to find a reference base:

  • searching for a prior, measured value, say, the highest/lowest/most recent/oldest value in some given period of time

  • a derivate, say, an average of measured values in some given period of time

  • a designated value, either copied from and/or referencing a measured value

Info

The Goal resource described in the following is available as of eHealth Infrastructure Release 7. For now, it can be accessed as Goal.

To add a designated reference base, create a FHIR Goal ressource with:

  • status: accepted

  • description: A Coding with:

    • code: reference-value

    • system: http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/goal-description

  • subject: Reference to Patient

  • startDate: A datetime representing the starting point at which this reference base is applicable

  • target.measure: Coding (the same as code in the ServiceRequest as the relative reference range is defined in)

  • target.detailQuantity: A Quantity containing the reference base value

  • addresses: Reference to ServiceRequest (the same ServiceRequest as the relative reference range is defined in)

  • addresses: Reference to the Observation from which the value in target.detailQuantity has been copied (if that is the case)
