| Title | Observation Results: laboratory (PS-CA) |
| Realm | ca |
| Authority | national |
| Description | This profile represents the constraints applied to the Observation resource by the PS-CA project to represent results produced by laboratory tests or panels/studies in a patient summary. This observation may represent the result of a simple laboratory test such as hematocrit or it may group the set of results produced by a multi-test study or panel such as a complete blood count, a dynamic function test, or a urine specimen study. In the latter case, the observation carries the overall conclusion of the study and or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the comment element; and references the atomic results of the study as "has-member" child observations.
It is informed by the constraints of the [Observation Results (Laboratory) IPS-UV profile](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition-Observation-results-laboratory-uv-ips.html) and the [Canadian Baseline Profile](http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7-Canada/ca-baseline/branches/master/StructureDefinition-profile-observation-results.html) to allow for cross-border and cross-jurisdiction sharing of laboratory result information |
| Purpose | This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent a laboratory in vitro diagnostic test or panel/study. In case of a panel/study, the results of the panel appear as sub-observations. In this case this top-level Observation acts as a grouper of all the observations belonging to the panel or study. The top-level observation may carry a conclusion in the value element and or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the comment element. |
