PROMIS 29 Depression Score FHIR ValueSet Definition Released

Details

This document is a reference definition of a FHIR ValueSet that defines the results for the PROMIS 29 Depression Score. The ValueSet references the LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) system and encompasses two specific concepts: '71965-8' (T-score) and '71966-6'. Technically, it demonstrates how these observation results are modeled within standard FHIR structure. This definition aims to enhance interoperability of data in healthcare information exchange. Using a unified code system is crucial when dealing with patient-reported outcomes like PROMIS. This ValueSet allows for the consistent exchange and analysis of depression score results across different EHR systems and research platforms. The resource is created based on FHIR standards, serving as a standard data definition (specification) in the healthcare IT field. It facilitates the collection and sharing of outcome measurement data in clinical settings.
