Example Observation: Systolic Blood Pressure at Initial Visit (MoPH-PC-1)
ตัวอย่าง Observation: ความดันโลหิต ซิสโตลิก แรกรับ - MoPH Primary Care 1
Summary
A Thai healthcare standards body published a specific implementation guide for the 'Observation' resource based on FHIR. This example demonstrates how to record vital signs, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements, within an electronic health record.
Key Players
Details
The Thai healthcare standards body has released an example of handling vital sign data using the FHIR standard as part of the MoPH Primary Care 1 (MoPH-PC-1) implementation guide. This 'Observation' resource sample details not only metadata such as patient name and practitioner information but also records blood pressure measurement results. Specifically, it shows that LOINC code #85354-9 (Blood pressure panel with all children optional) is used, and its components include Systolic Blood Pressure (LOINC #8480-6) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (LOINC #8462-4), each recorded with a specific measured value. This guide is based on FHIR v5.0.0 and provides concrete standards for data exchange in primary care within Thailand, offering practical implementation guidelines for improving interoperability in the country's healthcare IT systems. This example goes beyond mere proof-of-concept by providing a detailed structure of the 'Observation' resource used in real clinical settings. This contributes to enhancing the accurate and standardized exchange of vital sign data across different systems, facilitating interoperability within Thailand’s domestic healthcare landscape.
