4.11.1 Scope and Usage 9.11.1 Scope and Usage This resource captures predicted outcomes for a patient or population on the basis of source information. Examples include: A prognosis statement for a particular condition Risk of health outcome (heart attack, particular type of cancer) on the basis of lifestyle factors and/or family history List of potential health risks based on a patient's genetic analysis A prediction of outbreak infection rates within a geography based on immunization rates This resource can be used to represent the results of formal scoring/decision support tools that evaluate risk. It can also be used to capture a practitioner's subjective assessment of the patient's risk based on existing knowledge and previous experience.

This resource captures predicted outcomes for a patient or population on the basis of source information. Examples include:

  • A prognosis statement for a particular condition
  • Risk of health outcome (heart attack, particular type of cancer) on the basis of lifestyle factors and/or family history

4.11.2 Boundaries and Relationships 9.11.2 Boundaries and Relationships Risk assessments are a specialized type of observation.

Risk assessments are a specialized type of observation. We use a specialized resource to provide a simpler mechanism to capture of a series of risks and to associate those risks with time-ranges, probabilities, etc. All risk assertions are captured at one time based on a single set of source inputs. Capture of a single risk MAY be done using the Observation class, particularly in circumstances where it's treated as a generic observation, but for consistency, all risk assessments and prognosis SHOULD be captured using class, particularly in circumstances where it's treated as a generic observation, but for consistency, all risk assessments and prognosis SHOULD be captured using RiskAssessment . Risk assessments may be based on a variety of factors, including: Basic demographic information from the .

PLANNED CHANGE:

RiskAssessment is one of the Event resources in the FHIR Workflow specification. As such, it is expected to be adjusted to align with the Event workflow pattern which will involve adding a number of additional data elements and potentially renaming a few elements. At present, the work group plans to add all pattern elements with the exception of the "part of" and "in response to" elements which will be handled as extensions. Any concerns about performing such alignment are welcome as ballot comments and/or tracker items.

4.11.3 Background and Context 9.11.3 Background and Context Risk Assessments can be determined manually by health-care providers based on their professional expertise, by using an algorithmic scoring system or through a combination. Risk assessments can also be computed by decision support systems.
