Responsible Owner: Orders and Observations icon Work Group Maturity Level : 1   Trial Use Normative Security Category : Patient Compartments : Patient

Record details about an anatomical structure. This resource may be used when a coded concept does not provide the necessary detail needed for the use case.

The BodyStructure resource contains details about the anatomical location of a specimen or body part, including patient information, identifiers, as well as text descriptions and images. Note that some body structures are discontiguous.

When needed, it allows the the representation of complex body structures and/or locations using the included and excluded elements. Also, it provides for the addition It can provide indications of qualifiers such as laterality and directionality to the anatomic location for those use cases where pre-coordination of codes is location. This capability may be required when not possible. indicated in a corresponding code (e.g., includedStructure.structure or excludedStructure.structure). The BodyStructure resource supports recording and tracking of an anatomic location or structure on a patient outside the context of another resource. For example example, it can be the target of a Procedure or Observation resource.

The BodyStructure resource is not intended to substitute for precoordination of codes. If precoordination of codes is supported by an implementation a resource's code value implies a body structure, then the codeableConcept bodyStructure resource should be used. This used consistent with the code and to provide any additional detail. The bodySite element in any resource can be used when the resource's code is not intended for describing implicit about the type of anatomical location but rather a specific body site on a specific patient. structure and does not require extensive detail.
