Introduction

This implementation guide illustrates how to build FHIR resources to create an EHR-S FM or FP.

CP.1.4 Manage Problem List

Statement: Create and maintain patient-specific problem lists.

Description: A problem list may include, but is not limited to chronic conditions, diagnoses, or symptoms, injury/poisoning (both intentional and unintentional), adverse effects of medical or dental care (e.g., drugs, surgical), functional limitations, visit or stay-specific conditions, diagnoses, or symptoms. When a dentist creates a problem list, that list will focus on conditions clinically relevant to oral health care. Problem lists are managed over time, whether over the course of a visit or stay or the life of a patient, allowing documentation of historical information and tracking the changing character of problem(s) and their priority. The source (e.g., the provider, the system id, or the patient) of the updates should be documented. All pertinent dates are stored, including date noted or diagnosed, dates of any changes in problem specification or prioritization, and date of resolution. This might include time stamps, where useful and appropriate. The entire problem history for any problem in the list is viewable. For dentistry, only a limited medical history is often recorded; however, this limited medical history must not be represented as a comprehensive medical history.

The Mapping

Criteria FHIR Resource/Element Comment
Bundle
Condition.category problem-list-item
3. The system SHALL provide the ability to manage the status of each problem (e.g., active, inactive, resolved). Condition.clinicalStatus active, recurrence, relapse, inactive, remission, resolved
4. The system SHALL provide the ability to manage relevant dates including the onset date and date(s) of problem status change (e.g., inactivation or resolution date). Condition.onset[x]
Condition.recordedDate
Condition.abatement[x]
5. The system SHALL provide the ability to manage information about the chronicity duration (e.g., chronic, acute/self-limiting) of a problem. Condition.??? extension
6. The system SHOULD provide the ability to manage information regarding the information source (i.e. informant) of the problem. Condition.asserter
11. The system SHOULD provide the ability to link one or more problem(s) in the Problem list to encounters Condition.encounter
12. The system MAY provide the ability to link one or more problem(s) in the Problem List to medications. MedicationStatement.reasonReference Is this dueTo? Or the other way around. This medication is for this Problem?
13. The system MAY provide the ability to link one or more problem(s) in the Problem list to orders. ServiceRequest.reasonReference
14. The system MAY provide the ability to link one or more problem(s) in the Problem list to medical equipment. DeviceUseStament.reasonReference How is this different from 15?
15. The system MAY provide the ability to link one or more problem(s) in the Problem list to prosthetic/ orthotic devices DeviceUseStament.reasonReference
16. The system MAY provide the ability to link one or more problem(s) in the Problem list to notes. Condition.note
Binary…
What are note? A binary? Progress note or discharge note.
17. The system SHALL provide the ability to link orders, medical equipment, prosthetic/orthotic devices, and medications to one or more codified problems. Is this not the same as the other way around 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
