Level 0 Health Status Assessments

Assessments of a health-related matter of interest, importance, or worry to a patient, patient’s authorized representative, or patient’s healthcare provider that could identify a need, problem, or condition.

Self-care

This data element carries information on Self-care that is exchanged as observations. (Observations are characteristics that can be tested, measured, or observed and are communicated with a name-value pair structure). Self-care is a broad domain. Using the conceptual framework of the the International Classification of Function (ICF), it includes aspects such as eating, caring for teeth, putting clothes on, etc. Notes: • This data element is constrained to health data represented in data structures for observations. Observations should be represented using terminologies supporting this conceptual model, such as LOINC, which is designed for this purpose. Representing problems, goals, and other types of information related to functioning should use other data class structures as appropriate. • Examples of Self-care concepts can be found in the ICF browser at: https://apps.who.int/classifications/icfbrowser • Examples of demonstrated use of Self-care data can be found in the PACIO FHIR Functional Status Implementation Guide which supports exchange of observation data such as eating, oral hygiene, upper body dressing using assessments coded with LOINC.

LOINC. LOINC is a freely available global standard that contains a well-developed model for representing variables, answer lists, and the collections that contain them.* Many clinical assessments, scales, and other observations related to functioning are present in LOINC, including all of the variables on the PAC assessments for SNFs, IRFs, LTCHs, and HHAs. Regenstrief operates a robust process for adding new content (including functioning assessment instruments) if key gaps are identified. *PMID: 22899966

Level 0 Diagnostic Imaging

Tests that result in visual images requiring interpretation by a credentialed professional.

Imaging Study - Content

Representation of the content produced in a DICOM imaging study. A study comprises a set of series, each of which includes a set of Service-Object Pair Instances (SOP Instances - images or other data) acquired or produced in a common context. A series is of only one modality (e.g. X-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound), but a study may have multiple series of different modalities.

Level 0 Health Status Assessments

Assessments of a health-related matter of interest, importance, or worry to a patient, patient’s authorized representative, or patient’s healthcare provider that could identify a need, problem, or condition.

Mobility

This data element carries information on Mobility that is exchanged as observations. (Observations are characteristics that can be tested, measured, or observed and are communicated with a name-value pair structure). Mobility is a broad domain. Using the conceptual framework of the International Classification of Function (ICF), it includes aspects such as rolling over, transferring, walking short distances, etc. Notes: • This data element is constrained to health data represented in data structures for observations. Observations should be represented using terminologies supporting this conceptual model, such as LOINC, which is designed for this purpose. Representing problems, goals, and other types of information related to functioning should use other data class structures as appropriate. • Examples of Mobility concepts can be found in the ICF browser at: https://apps.who.int/classifications/icfbrowser • Examples of demonstrated use of Mobility data can be found in the PACIO FHIR Functional Status Implementation Guide which supports exchange of observation data such as roll left and right, car transfer, walk 10 feet using assessments coded with LOINC.
