Pain Severity Reported Observation Specification Released for Mobile Antepartum Summary
Pain Severity Reported observation - Mobile Antepartum Summary v1.0.0-comment IHE
Summary
IHE has published a Resource Profile called 'Pain Severity Reported observation' based on FHIR R4. This defines the structure of observation data used in the Mobile Antepartum Summary, aiming to standardize information regarding pain severity.
Details
This specification is released as a Resource Profile for 'Pain Severity Reported observation,' built upon the FHIR R4 standard. It defines the standardized structure for observation data (Observation) utilized within the Mobile Antepartum Summary. Specifically, it provides a formalized format for recording pain severity reported by patients. From a technical standpoint, it utilizes the core FHIR Observation resource while applying bindings such as LOINC codes (e.g., 38208-5) and HL7 Observation Status to strictly define data classification, measurements, and clinically relevant time information (effective[x]). This ensures that pain severity data can be exchanged and used consistently across different healthcare institutions, thereby improving the quality of data exchange in obstetrics. The Profile inherits the basic structure of the Observation resource (including status, category, code, effective[x], value[x], etc.) while setting detailed constraints and preferred patterns specific to a clinical scenario (Antepartum Visit Summary Flowsheet Battery). This serves as an important technical guideline for Japanese healthcare institutions' electronic medical records and information systems to possess data structures based on international standards.
