DEFINITION:

The Procedure Result transaction aims to transfer the results of a technical examination, that is typically identified as a service of the RIZIV/INAMI nomenclature.

Results from a clinical investigation should be reported through the transaction Contact report.
Laboratory results are reported through the transaction Laboratory result.

Generalities

This transaction only requires a level 1 of kmehr normalization. However, further levels may be applied (see structure overview).

Transaction elements

id

id of the transaction according to the ID-KMEHR convention.

cd

You must use the value 'result' from CD-TRANSACTION. You can always add your own local codes.

date

This is the date of the reporting of the examination(s). By default, this is also the performing date of the examination. If these two dates differ, the performeing date should be defined at the item level.

time

This is the time of the reporting of the examination(s).

author

This is the person assuming the responsibility of medical content of the request.

iscomplete

If this is false, this means that you transfer only part of the information and that the recipient should expect a more complete version later.

isvalidated

If this is false, this means that the information has not been validated medically.

Structure overview

You have the choice between:

  • text(s): to transfer your result as free text,
  • lnk(s): to encapsulate your result as a multimedia object (Word document for example) or to link the result with the requesting transaction,
  • items(s): to further structure your result.

Items

Any item from CD-ITEM can be used but we recommend more particularily the following ones.

Item type (cd) Item purpose Item structure
requestnumber should contain the result number as free text or using KMEHR id content (text | id)
requestdatetime should contain the request date and time content (date time)
requestor should identify the prescriber content hcparty
transactionreason could possibly be used to specify the indication(s) of the examination content text
technical to specify the result of one technical examination content (text | lnk | ...)

The lnk element will typically be used to append multiple multimedia attachments like images. If the image is encapsulated within the item, the URL attribute will be left blank. Otherwise, the URL will specify the relative location where to find the image.

Very specific elements like the holter or ecg could be developed. Nevertheless we still recommend to use free text and lnk to report technical examinations.
