The Fallback Library contains a rule that ensures creation of a Task that draws attention to a measurement needing evaluation. It is intended for implicit use in case no other automated processing type Library has been set up for a given ProcedureRequest ServiceRequest through its ActivityDefinition.

...

This Library contains a generic rule that performs assessment of an Observation based on absolute reference range(s) automatically copied from a ProcedureRequest ServiceRequest referencing an ActivityDefinition that references the Library. The rule in this Library is automatically performed as a reaction to submitting of the Observation. This Library can be referenced from an ActivityDefinition along with other Library, even the Relative Reference Ranges Library described below.

...

  • A ClinicalImpresssion:

    • .finding for each .component in the observation (e.g. systolic and diastolic blood pressure) or a single finding if the observation does not contain components.

      • Each finding for observation will have one of the following alert levels:

        • http://snomed.info/sct, 442082004, fund ved måling inden for referenceinterval (green)

        • http://snomed.info/sct, 442096005, fund ved måling uden for referenceinterval (red, yellow)

      • If the finding is for a component, then it will contain an observation code identifying the component (e.g. systolic blood pressure)

      A Task related to the ClinicalImpression with priority based on the highest alert level found:

      • asap if .

    • .finding for the overall assessment which is either green, yellow or red based on the worst severity from components or a single observation, see green, yellow and red in .https://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/ValueSet-ehealth-clinicalimpression-finding-codes.html .

    • A Task related to the ClinicalImpression with priority based on the highest alert level found:

      • asap if any values are found in “red alert” reference ranges

      • urgent if any values are found in “yellow alert” reference ranges (and no “red alert” found)

      • routine if no red or yellow alerts are found

...

The rule processes absolute reference ranges only, that is, Observation.referenceRange.type where the Coding has:

  • system: urn:oid:1.2.208.184.100.1

  • code: RAL or GAL, for red alarm absolute reference range and yellow alarm absolute reference range, respectively.

...

The rule accepts observation values and reference ranges without units. However if both have a unit specified, they must match.

Assessment of Relative Reference Ranges Library and Rule

This Library is similar to the Absolute Reference Range library (see above) in some aspects: Input and output are identical. The difference is the the type of reference ranges that the rule handles. Absolute and relative reference range libraries can co-exist and can both process the same Observation. They will each handle their corresponding type of reference ranges associated with the Observation.

The rule processes relative reference ranges only, that is, Observation.referenceRange.type where the Coding has:

...

Error handling for different situations which result in the rule setting up instructions for creation of one or two Task:

Situation

Generic Task

Possible Specific Task (Stating what was wrong)

No absolute reference range found

Task (Stating that measurement needs manual assessment):

  • .category with .code = MeasurementForAssessment, .system = http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/

...

code: RELRAL or RELGAL, for red alarm relative reference range and yellow alarm relative reference range, respectively.

A vital difference from the rule in the Absolute Reference Range Library is that Relative Reference Range Library rule must have a reference base to compare against.

A relative reference range can be stated:

  • in same unit as the Observation

  • as a percentage or, in case the Observation is already expressed with unit percentage (as is the case for oxygen saturation, for instance), as a percentage point.

...

Example relative reference range as -5 percentage point with reference base 90% for oxygen saturation measurement

The oxygen saturation measurement unit is expressed as percent (system=http://unitsofmeasure.org, code=%), the reference base likewise and in this case with a value of 90.

A red alarm relative reference range given as -5 percentage point would be given by a SimpleQuantity for the reference range’s low element with:

...

value=-5

Assessment of Relative Reference Ranges Library and Rule

This Library is similar to the Absolute Reference Range library (see above) in some aspects: Input and output are identical. The difference is the the type of reference ranges that the rule handles. Absolute and relative reference range libraries can co-exist and can both process the same Observation. They will each handle their corresponding type of reference ranges associated with the Observation.

The rule processes relative reference ranges only, that is, Observation.referenceRange.type where the Coding has:

  • system: http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/reference-range-type

  • code: RELRAL or RELGAL, for red alarm relative reference range and yellow alarm relative reference range, respectively.

A vital difference from the rule in the Absolute Reference Range Library is that Relative Reference Range Library rule must have a reference base to compare against.

A relative reference range can be stated:

  • in same unit as the Observation

  • as a percentage or, in case the Observation is already expressed with unit percentage (as is the case for oxygen saturation, for instance), as a percentage point.

Info

Example relative reference range as -5 percentage point with reference base 90% for oxygen saturation measurement

The oxygen saturation measurement unit is expressed as percent (system=http://unitsofmeasure.org, code=%), the reference base likewise and in this case with a value of 90.

A red alarm relative reference range given as -5 percentage point would be given by a SimpleQuantity for the reference range’s low element with:

  • value=-5

  • unit=percentage point

  • system=http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/ehealth-unit-code

  • code=percentagepoint

Thus, the rule would treat an Observation with value 85% as a red alarm case for this relative reference range and current choice of reference base with value 90%.

The rule handles different situations which result in the rule setting up instructions for creation of one or two Task:

Situation

Possible Specific Task (Stating what was wrong)

Task:

  • .category with .code = MeasurementForAssessmentNotTriaged, .system = http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/task-category, .display = Need assessment of measurement where triage was not performed during automated processing

Library for Assessment of Questionnaire Response

This Library contains a generic rule that performs assessment of a QuestionnaireResponse in relation to any answer significances defined in the corresponding Questionnaire.

During processing of the rule, each answer significance defined in the Questionnaire (see https://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition-ehealth-questionnaire.html#answer-significance ) on questions and their linked answers in the QuestionnaireResponse are traversed and checked whether the condition(s) of the answer significance is met by the linked answer. When this is the case, a finding basis is added to internal bookkeeping. Ultimately, the list of finding basis determines the created ClinicalImpression finding and the priority of the created task:

  • In case the list of finding basis contains at least one red question/answer pair, the priority is set to asap

  • In case the list of finding basis contains at least one yellow question/answer pair and no red question/answer pair , the priority is set to urgent

  • Otherwise, the priority is set to routine

The Library has:

  • .type set to automated-processing

  • .parameter

    • .use set to in for input

    • .type set to QuestionnaireResponse

  • .parameter

    • .use set to in for input

    • .type set to Questionnaire

  • .parameter

    • .use set to in for input

    • .type set to ServiceRequest

The Library rule sets up instructions that causes production of:

  • A ClinicalImpresssion:

    • .finding as follows:

      • If the triggered red set is not empty, a finding.item with a Coding:

        • system = http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/clinicalimpression-finding-codes

        • code = red

        • display = Red overall assessment

      • If the triggered yellow set is not empty, a finding.item with a Coding:

        • system = http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/clinicalimpression-finding-codes

        • code = yellow

        • display = yellow overall assessment

      • If both triggered sets are empty, a finding.item with a Coding:

        • system = http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/clinicalimpression-finding-codes

        • code = green

        • display = Green overall assessment

      • If the Questionnaire does contain answer significance definitions but none have been triggered, a finding.item with a Coding:

        • system = http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/clinicalimpression-finding-codes

        • code = no-effective-answer-significance

        • display = Ingen triageringsindikator for spørgsmål/svar-kombination har fundet anvendelse

      • If the Questionnaire does not contain answer significance definitions, a finding.item with a Coding:

        • system = http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/cs/clinicalimpression-finding-codes

        • code = no-answer-significance-defined

        • display = Ingen triageringsindikator defineret i spørgeskemaet

    • list of .ehealth-questionnaireresponse-finding-basis for each basis for the overall ClinicalImpression as follows:

      • linkId set to linkId for the Questionnaire item/QuestionnaireResponse item pair which triggered the finding basis

      • value set to value of the answer which triggered the finding basis

      • finding set to green-question-answer, yellow-question-answer or red-question-answer from http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/vs/clinicalimpression-finding-codes based on signifiance on triggered ehealth-questionnaire-answerSignificance

      • ehealth-questionnaire-answerSignificance is the triggered answerSignificance which is gathered from Questionnaire item

  • A Task related to the ClinicalImpression with:

    • priority set to the priority value determined above.

A difference between the finding in finding.item.code and the finding basis in ehealth-questionnaire-finding-basis is that the former is a conclusion or summary while the latter provides the details that led to the conclusion. In ehealth-questionnaire-finding-basis there may be multiple entries for the same question-answer pair and those entries may or may not have the same significance (color). That depends on the how the answer (or lack of answer) fits with answer significance definitions in the Questionnaire.
