An assessment of the likely outcome(s) for a patient or other subject as well as the likelihood of each outcome.

Business identifier assigned to the risk assessment.

A reference to the request that is fulfilled by this risk assessment.

A reference to a resource that this risk assessment is part of, such as a Procedure.

The status of the RiskAssessment, using the same statuses as an Observation.

The algorithm, process or mechanism used to evaluate the risk.

The method can influence the results of the assessment.

The type of the risk assessment performed.

The patient or group the risk assessment applies to.

The encounter where the assessment was performed.

The date (and possibly time) the risk assessment was performed.

The assessment results lose validity the more time elapses from when they are first made.

For assessments or prognosis specific to a particular condition, indicates the condition being assessed.

The provider provider, patient, related person, or software application that performed the assessment.

The reason the risk assessment was performed.

Indicates the source data considered as part of the assessment (for example, FamilyHistory, Observations, Procedures, Conditions, etc.).

Describes the expected outcome for the subject.

Multiple repetitions can be used to identify the same type of outcome in different timeframes as well as different types of outcomes.

One of the potential outcomes for the patient (e.g. remission, death, a particular condition).

Indicates how likely the outcome is (in the specified timeframe).

If range is used, it represents the lower and upper bounds of certainty; e.g. 40-60% Decimal values are expressed as percentages as well (max = 100).

Indicates how likely the outcome is (in the specified timeframe), expressed as a qualitative value (e.g. low, medium, or high).

Indicates the risk for this particular subject (with their specific characteristics) divided by the risk of the population in general. (Numbers greater than 1 = higher risk than the population, numbers less than 1 = lower risk.).

Absolute risk is less meaningful than relative risk.

Indicates the period of time or age range of the subject to which the specified probability applies.

If not specified, the risk applies "over the subject's lifespan".

Additional information explaining the basis for the prediction.

A description of the steps that might be taken to reduce the identified risk(s).

One of the main reasons for assessing risks is to identify whether interventional steps are needed to reduce risk.
