General
Resources that provide core clinical record keeping - focused on the content of the provider/patient encounter
Name Aliases Description
AdverseReaction AllergyIntolerance Allergy, Intolerance Records Risk of harmful or undesirable, physiological response which is unique to an unexpected reaction suspected individual and associated with exposure to be related a substance.
ClinicalImpression A record of a clinical assessment performed to determine what problem(s) may affect the exposure of patient and before planning the reaction subject treatments or management strategies that are best to manage a substance. patient's condition. Assessments are often 1:1 with a clinical consultation / encounter, but this varies greatly depending on the clinical workflow. This resource is called "ClinicalImpression" rather than "ClinicalAssessment" to avoid confusion with the recording of assessment tools such as Apgar score.
AllergyIntolerance Condition Adverse Sensitivity Use to record detailed information about conditions, problems or diagnoses recognized by a clinician. There are many uses including: recording a diagnosis during an encounter; populating a problem list or a summary statement, such as a discharge summary.
Indicates the patient has ProcedureRequest A request for a susceptibility procedure to be performed. May be a proposal or an adverse reaction upon exposure order.
Procedure An action that is or was performed on a patient. This can be a physical intervention like an operation, or less invasive like counseling or hypnotherapy.
ReferralRequest ReferralRequest TransferOfCare Request Used to record and send details about a specified substance. request for referral service or transfer of a patient to the care of another provider or provider organization.

Medications & Immunizations Medication, Immunization
Support the medication & Immunization process & immunization processes
Name Aliases Description
Medication Primarily This resource is primarily used for the identification and definition of Medication, but also a medication. It covers the ingredients and packaging. the packaging for a medication.
MedicationPrescription MedicationOrder Prescription An order for both supply of the medication and the instructions for administration of the medicine medication to a patient. The resource is called "MedicationOrder" rather than "MedicationPrescription" to generalize the use across inpatient and outpatient settings as well as for care plans, etc.
MedicationAdministration Describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being given a dose of administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner.
MedicationDispense Dispensing Indicates that a medication product is to be or has been dispensed for a named patient. person/patient. This includes a description of the supply medication product (supply) provided and the instructions for administering the medication. The medication dispense is the result of a pharmacy system responding to a medication order.
MedicationStatement A record of a medication that is being taken consumed by a patient. A MedicationStatement may indicate that the patient may be taking the medication now, or has taken the medication in the past or will be taking the medication in the future. The source of this information can be the patient, significant other (such as a family member or spouse), or a clinician. A common scenario where this information is captured is during the history taking process during a patient visit or stay. The medication information may come from e.g. the patient's memory, from a prescription bottle, or from a list of medications the patient, clinician or other party maintains The primary difference between a medication statement and a medication administration is that the medication administration has been given to complete administration information and is based on actual administration information from the person who administered the medication. A medication statement is often, if not always, less specific. There is no required date/time when the medication was administered, in fact we only know that a source has reported the patient is taking this medication, where details such as time, quantity, or rate or even medication product may be incomplete or missing or less precise. As stated earlier, the record is medication statement information may come from the result of patient's memory, from a report prescription bottle or from a list of medications the patient patient, clinician or another clinician. other party maintains. Medication administration is more formal and is not missing detailed information.
Immunization Immunization Describes the event information. of a patient being administered a vaccination or a record of a vaccination as reported by a patient, a clinician or another party and may include vaccine reaction information and what vaccination protocol was followed.
ImmunizationRecommendation A patient's point-of-time point-in-time immunization status and recommendation (i.e. forecasting a patient's immunization eligibility according to a published schedule) with optional supporting justification.

Diagnostics
Provider support for diagnostic services - lab, pathology, imaging, etc
Name Aliases Description
Observation Vital Signs, Measurement, Results Measurements and simple assertions made about a patient, device or other subject.
DiagnosticReport Report, Test, Result, Results, Labs The findings and interpretation of diagnostic tests performed on patients, groups of patients, devices, and locations, and/or specimens derived from these. The report includes clinical context such as requesting and provider information, and some mix of atomic results, images, textual and coded interpretation, interpretations, and formatted representation of diagnostic reports.
DiagnosticOrder A record of a request for a diagnostic investigation service to be performed.
ImagingStudy Manifest of a set Representation of images the content produced in a DICOM imaging study. The A study comprises a set of series, each of which includes a set of Service-Object Pair Instances (SOP Instances - images may include every image in the study, or it may be an incomplete sample, such as other data) acquired or produced in a list common context. A series is of key images. only one modality (e.g. X-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound), but a study may have multiple series of different modalities.
Specimen ImagingObjectSelection Manifest, XDS-I summary, Key Images Sample A manifest of a set of DICOM Service-Object Pair Instances (SOP Instances). The referenced SOP Instances (images or other content) are for analysis. a single patient, and may be from one or more studies. The referenced SOP Instances have been selected for a purpose, such as quality assurance, conference, or consult. Reflecting that range of purposes, typical ImagingObjectSelection resources may include all SOP Instances in a study (perhaps for sharing through a Health Information Exchange); key images from multiple studies (for reference by a referring or treating physician); a multi-frame ultrasound instance ("cine" video clip) and a set of measurements taken from that instance (for inclusion in a teaching file); and so on.
Device Interactions Specimen Support A sample to be used for reading measurements made by devices analysis.
DeviceObservationReport BodySite anatomical location Describes Record details about the data produced by anatomical location of a device at specimen or body part. This resource may be used when a point in time. coded concept does not provide the necessary detail needed for the use case.

Additional Resources will be added in the future. A list of hypothesized resources can be found on the HL7 wiki . Feel free to add any you think are missing or engage with one of the HL7 Work Groups to submit a proposal to define a resource of particular interest.
