Device	0	*			Item used in healthcare	A type of a manufactured item that is used in the provision of healthcare without being substantially changed through that activity. The device may be a medical or non-medical device.					MS[0..*]
Device.text	0	1		Narrative	Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation	A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.	Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.				NRT
Device.contained	0	*		Resource	Contained, inline Resources	These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning.	This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.				NRT
Device.id	0	1		id	Logical id of this artifact	The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.	Within the context of the FHIR RESTful interactions, the resource has an id except for cases like the create and conditional update. Otherwise, the use of the resouce id depends on the given use case.				R[1..1]
Device.meta	0	1		Meta	Metadata about the resource	The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.					NRT
Device.implicitRules	0	1		uri	A set of rules under which this content was created	A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.	Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.				NRT
Device.language	0	1		code	Language of the resource content	The base language in which the resource is written.	Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).	required	IETF language tag for a human language	http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/all-languages\|5.0.0	NRT
Device.extension	0	*		Extension	Additional content defined by implementations	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.	There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.				NRT
Device.modifierExtension	0	*		Extension	Extensions that cannot be ignored	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants.

Device.identifier	0	*		Identifier	Instance identifier	Unique instance identifiers assigned to a device by manufacturers other organizations or owners.	Certain attributes, like serial number and UDI Carrier (the HRF or AIDC barcode string) are not device instance identifiers as they are not consistently able to uniquely identify the instance of a device, thus are not appropriate to be used to value Device.identifier. The barcode string from a barcode present on a device label or package may identify the instance, include names given to the device in local usage, or may identify the type of device. If the identifier identifies the type of device, Device.type element should be used. The identifier is typically valued if the serialNumber or lotNumber is not valued and represents a different type of identifier. However, it is permissible to still include those identifiers in DeviceDefinition.identifier with the appropriate identifier.type.				NRT

Because of limitations on character sets in XML and the need to round-trip JSON data through XML, AIDC Formats SHALL be base64 encoded.	The AIDC form of UDIs should be scanned or otherwise used for the identification of the device whenever possible to minimize errors in records resulting from manual transcriptions.

While a serial number is a type of identifier, in the context of devices for which a UDI is required, thus a serial number may be part of the production identifier, it is more informative to have the serial number as a dedicated attribute together with the other UDI production identifier. When the device is not subject to including the UDI (e.g., its presence and exchange is not mandated by local regulatory requirements or specific use case at hand), thus the concept of production identifiers is not relevant as a set, it remains helpful for consistency to still use Device.serialNumber rather than using Device.identifier with an appropriate type. Systems that do not realize an identifier is a serial number may place it in Device.identifier or if the identifier.system is known for the serial number, it may also be populated in the Device.identifier as a globally unique id_.

DiagnosticReport	0	*			A Diagnostic report - a combination of request information, atomic results, images, interpretation, as well as formatted reports	The US Core Diagnostic Report Profile is based upon the core FHIR DiagnosticReport Resource and created to meet the 2015 Edition Common Clinical Data Set 'Laboratory test(s) and Laboratory value(s)/result(s)' requirements.	This is intended to capture a single report and is not suitable for use in displaying summary information that covers multiple reports. For example, this resource has not been designed for laboratory cumulative reporting formats nor detailed structured reports for sequencing.				MS [0..*]
DiagnosticReport.id	0	1		string	Logical id of this artifact	The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.	The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.				R[1..1]
DiagnosticReport.meta	0	1		Meta	Metadata about the resource	The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.					NRT
DiagnosticReport.implicitRules	0	1		uri	A set of rules under which this content was created	A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.	Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.				NRT
DiagnosticReport.language	0	1		code	Language of the resource content	The base language in which the resource is written.	Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).	preferred	CommonLanguages Max Binding: All Languages	http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/languages	NRT
DiagnosticReport.text	0	1		Narrative	Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation	A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.	Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.				NR
DiagnosticReport.contained	0	*		Resource	Contained, inline Resources	These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

Path	Min	Max	Must Support?	Data Type(s)	FHIR Short Description	FHIR Definition	Comments	Binding Strength	Binding Description	FHIR Binding Value Set	Cross Measure Requirements
DiagnosticReport	0	*			US Core Diagnostic Report Profile for Report and Note exchange	Clinical Testing and Imaging tests performed on a patient that results in structured or unstructured (narrative) findings specific to the patient.	This is intended to capture a single report and is not suitable for use in displaying summary information that covers multiple reports. For example, this resource has not been designed for laboratory cumulative reporting formats nor detailed structured reports for sequencing.				MS [0..*]
DiagnosticReport.id	0	1		string	Logical id of this artifact	The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.	The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.				R[1..1]
DiagnosticReport.meta	0	1		Meta	Metadata about the resource	The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.					NRT
DiagnosticReport.implicitRules	0	1		uri	A set of rules under which this content was created	A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.	Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.				NRT
DiagnosticReport.language	0	1		code	Language of the resource content	The base language in which the resource is written.	Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).	preferred	A human language.	http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/languages	NRT
DiagnosticReport.text	0	1		Narrative	Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation	A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.	Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.				NR
DiagnosticReport.contained	0	*		Resource	Contained, inline Resources	These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.	This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.				NRT
DiagnosticReport.extension	0	*		Extension	Additional content defined by implementations	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.	There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.				NRT
DiagnosticReport.modifierExtension	0	*		Extension	Extensions that cannot be ignored	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).	There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.				NRT
DiagnosticReport.identifier	0	*		Identifier	Business identifier for report	Identifiers assigned to this report by the performer or other systems.	Usually assigned by the Information System of the diagnostic service provider (filler id).				NRT
DiagnosticReport.basedOn	0	*		Reference(CarePlan\|ImmunizationRecommendation\|MedicationRequest\|NutritionOrder\|ServiceRequest)	What was requested	Details concerning a service requested.	Note: Usually there is one test request for each result, however in some circumstances multiple test requests may be represented using a single test result resource. Note that there are also cases where one request leads to multiple reports.				MS [0..*]
DiagnosticReport.status	1	1	Y	code	registered \| partial \| preliminary \| final +	The status of the diagnostic report.		required		http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/diagnostic-report-status	R[1..1]
DiagnosticReport.category	0	*	Y	CodeableConcept	Service category	A code that classifies the clinical discipline, department or diagnostic service that created the report (e.g. cardiology, biochemistry, hematology, MRI). This is used for searching, sorting and display purposes.	Multiple categories are allowed using various categorization schemes. The level of granularity is defined by the category concepts in the value set. More fine-grained filtering can be performed using the metadata and/or terminology hierarchy in DiagnosticReport.code.	required		http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet/us-core-diagnosticreport-category	R[1..*]
DiagnosticReport.code	1	1	Y	CodeableConcept	US Core Report Code	The test, panel, report, or note that was ordered.	The typical patterns for codes are: 1) a LOINC code either as a translation from a "local" code or as a primary code, or 2) a local code only if no suitable LOINC exists, or 3) both the local and the LOINC translation. Systems SHALL be capable of sending the local code if one exists.	extensible	LOINC codes	http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet/us-core-diagnosticreport-report-and-note-codes	R[1..1]
DiagnosticReport.subject	1	1	Y	Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-patient)	The subject of the report - usually, but not always, the patient	The subject of the report. Usually, but not always, this is a patient. However, diagnostic services also perform analyses on specimens collected from a variety of other sources.					R[1..1]
DiagnosticReport.encounter	0	1	Y	Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-encounter)	Health care event when test ordered	The healthcare event (e.g. a patient and healthcare provider interaction) which this DiagnosticReport is about.	This will typically be the encounter the event occurred within, but some events may be initiated prior to or after the official completion of an encounter but still be tied to the context of the encounter (e.g. pre-admission laboratory tests).				MS [0..1]
DiagnosticReport.effective[x]	1	1	Y	dateTime Period	Clinically relevant time/time-period for report	The time or time-period the observed values are related to. When the subject of the report is a patient, this is usually either the time of the procedure or of specimen collection(s), but very often the source of the date/time is not known, only the date/time itself.	If the diagnostic procedure was performed on the patient, this is the time it was performed. If there are specimens, the diagnostically relevant time can be derived from the specimen collection times, but the specimen information is not always available, and the exact relationship between the specimens and the diagnostically relevant time is not always automatic.				R[1..1]
DiagnosticReport.issued	0	1	Y	instant	DateTime this version was made	The date and time that this version of the report was made available to providers, typically after the report was reviewed and verified.	May be different from the update time of the resource itself, because that is the status of the record (potentially a secondary copy), not the actual release time of the report.				MS[0..1]

DiagnosticReport.resultsInterpreter	0	*		Reference(Practitioner\|PractitionerRole\|Organization\|CareTeam)	Primary result interpreter	The practitioner or organization that is responsible for the report's conclusions and interpretations.	Might not be the same entity that takes responsibility for the clinical report.				NR
DiagnosticReport.specimen	0	*		Reference(Specimen)	Specimens this report is based on	Details about the specimens on which this diagnostic report is based.	If the specimen is sufficiently specified with a code in the test result name, then this additional data may be redundant. If there are multiple specimens, these may be represented per observation or group.				NR

Observations can contain observations.				NR
DiagnosticReport.imagingStudy	0	*	Y	Reference(ImagingStudy)	Reference to full details of imaging associated with the diagnostic report	One or more links to full details of any imaging performed during the diagnostic investigation. Typically, this is imaging performed by DICOM enabled modalities, but this is not required. A fully enabled PACS viewer can use this information to provide views of the source images.	ImagingStudy and the image element are somewhat overlapping - typically, the list of image references in the image element will also be found in one of the imaging study resources. However, each caters to different types of displays for different types of purposes. Neither, either, or both may be provided.				NR
DiagnosticReport.media	0	*	Y	BackboneElement	Key images associated with this report	A list of key images associated with this report. The images are generally created during the diagnostic process, and may be directly of the patient, or of treated specimens (i.e. slides of interest).					NR

Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.	Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element.

Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.	Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied).

It is a flag that can be use (ie implemented) to represent one or many concepts referring to the type or classification of the observation. Some common examples of classifications we might see (some of the time) are here. I could see a hospital including a local code ‘transmission-based-precaution’ or ‘tbp’ code here; I could also see a hospital using one of these codes or their own other codes to represent the concept of ‘tbp’. But also, expect some hospitals may not use Observations to convey the concept of a TBP. In a nutshell, to me, Observation.category is a key element that Link should transmit to NHSN. beyond that, I think we need to wait and see multiple hospitals’ data before we can begin to inform an understanding/expectation regarding what coded concepts we may expect here. And our understanding will need to keep evolving as we onboard more and more hospitals. Note- while many .category repetitions are allowed for a single Observation, at least 1 is required, so any Observation that does not have at least one Observation.category will be an invalid Observation.
