MII IG Modul Patho
2027.0.0-ballot - Germany

MII IG Modul Patho - Local Development build (v2027.0.0-ballot) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Data sets

The official version of the information model for the module Pathology Report can be found on Art-Decor. In order to standardize the representation, the information model was additionally mapped as a FHIR logical model:

MII LM Patho Logical Model

Data set Art-Decor

It should be noted that the logical model aims purely at mapping the data elements and describing them. The data types and cardinalities used are not to be regarded as mandatory; this is ultimately determined by the FHIR profiles. For each element within the logical model there is a 1:1 mapping to an element of a concrete FHIR resource.


Pathology report

Logical data model Description
Befundbericht.id Unique identification of the pathology report, usually the accession number (case number), supplemented by the version number
Befundbericht.Identifikator Version-independent identifier of the pathology report, usually the accession number (case number); GUID (global unique identifier) possible
Befundbericht.Versionsnummer Version number of the pathology report
Befundbericht.Status Status of the pathology report (preliminary, final)
Befundbericht.Typ Type of the clinical document (LOINC 60568-3)
Befundbericht.Kategorie Category of the clinical document (LOINC 27898-6)
Befundbericht.Datum Date and time of the release of the report
Befundbericht.Titel Title of the report (pathological-anatomical assessment)
Befundbericht.Autor Author of the report
Befundbericht.Freigebender Legally responsible person (legal authenticator) for the report
Befundbericht.ZugehörigesDokument Earlier version of the report

For the data sets patient, encounter and managing organization, the MII modules Person, Encounter and Structural data are used. They are therefore not specified further here.


Examination request

Logical data model Description
Untersuchungsauftrag.Identifikation Identifier of the examination request
Untersuchungsauftrag.KlinischeInformation Clinical information about a case
Untersuchungsauftrag.Status Status of the request (active, completed)
Untersuchungsauftrag.Einsender Physician who sends specimens of a patient in for pathological-anatomical examination
Untersuchungsauftrag.Probenentnehmer Collector of a specimen who is not identical to the sender
Untersuchungsauftrag.Präparat Submitted preparation (see preparation/specimen)
Untersuchungsauftrag.Untersuchung Ordered examination(s)

Specimen

As the basis for the specification of the specimen, the MII profile Bioprobe - Core from the module Biobank is used.

Logical data model Description
Probe Organ or part of an organ or a collection thereof, or tissue or cells, that are sent in as a submission for processing and assessment and from which further specimens can arise through specimen processing
Probe.Identifikation Identification of the specimen
Probe.Probenherkunft Location of the body site from which the specimen originates
Probe.Entnahme-/Abnahmezeitpunkt Date and time of specimen collection
Probe.Laboreingangszeitpunkt Date and time of receipt of the preparation
Probe.Entnahmeprozedur Procedure for obtaining the preparation
Probe.Bearbeitungsprozedur Procedure of specimen/preparation processing
Probe.Bearbeitungsprozedur.Additiv Additive used for specimen/preparation processing
Probe.Probenidentifikation.ProbenID ID of the specimen, may be identical to the case number (accession number)
Probe.Probenidentifikation.ParentID ID of the parent specimen from which the specimen to be processed / examined originates
Probe.Container Specimen container in the broadest sense: submission vessel, tissue cassette, paraffin block, slide, etc.
Probe.Container.Typ Type of the container
Probe.Container.Additiv Additive in the container
Probe.Beobachtung Observation on the specimen

Observation report sections

The observation report sections listed in the Art-Decor scheme all have the same following logical data elements, which differ only in their specific content.

Logical data model Description
Beobachtungsberichtabschnitt.Identifikation Identifier of the report section
Beobachtungsberichtabschnitt.Text Text of an observation in the report section
Beobachtungsberichtabschnitt.Pathologisch-anatomische Einzelbeobachtung Semantically annotated (coded) unit of a generic pathological-anatomical observation in the report section
Beobachtungsberichtabschnitt.Eingebettetes Bild Image embedded in the report section

The observation report section specimens / technical processing from the CDA profile APSR is represented by specimen information from the LIS. This contains a list of all specimens that were sent in by the sender and processed in the laboratory into assessable (stained section) preparations, so that every assessable object can have an unambiguous assignment of its production process.

For the text part, a structure according to:

  • specimen ID
  • parent specimen ID
  • collection procedure
  • processing procedure

is suitable for the specimen levels part, block, stained section (part of a part, stained smear, each for cytological preparations).

The observation report section clinical information from the CDA profile APSR is fully contained in the examination request and can be taken from there.


Generic pathological-anatomical individual observation

The generic pathological-anatomical individual observations represent the "atomic" codable data elements in the report. They describe specific statements on morphological characteristics and results of measurements, can embed images or describe regions of interest in images to which further observations refer.

Generic pathological-anatomical individual observations can also be used in nested constructs with organizer properties.
