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.
It
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
of
qualifiers
such
as
laterality
and
directionality
to
the
anatomic
location
for
those
use
cases
where
precoordination
pre-coordination
of
codes
is
not
possible.
The
BodyStructure
resource
supports
recording
and
tracking
of
an
anatomic
location
or
structure
on
a
patient
outside
the
context
of
another
resource.
For
example
it
can
be
the
target
of
a
Procedure
resource
or
Observation
resource.
The BodyStructure resource is not intended to substitute for precoordination of codes. If precoordination of codes is supported by an implementation the codeableConcept should be used. This resource is not intended for describing the type of anatomical location but rather a specific body site on a specific patient.
