MII Implementation Guide Microbiology - Local Development build (v2027.0.0-ballot2) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Profiles

This page lists the FHIR profiles of the Microbiology module. They follow the MII naming convention MII_PR_<Module>_<Name>. The module's extensions are listed on the Extensions page.

The 2027 modelling uses standalone Observation profiles instead of component representations. The investigation profiles are grouped into four families; the report and the specimen stand beside them. The modelling notes are on FHIR Profiles - Modelling Notes, the delimitation between them on Profile Selection and Delimitation.

Culture

Culture-related observations (general, microscopy including Bartlett/Nugent score, colony count, susceptibility).

• General culture
• General microscopy
• Specific microscopy
• Bartlett score
• Nugent score
• Colony count
• Susceptibility

Determination

Determination observations (general/specific determination, Ct value).

• General determination (identification)
• Specific determination
• Ct value

Quantitative tests

Quantitative tests (antigen/antibody, titre, molecular pathogen load).

• Antigen/antibody, quantitative
• Titre
• Molecular pathogen load

Further properties

Further properties as standalone Observations (virulence, resistance mechanism, MRGN, predicted susceptibility, resistance category status, avidity).

• Virulence factor
• Resistance mechanisms / determinants
• MRGN class
• Predicted susceptibility
• Resistance category status
• Avidity

Report and specimen

The report that gathers the investigations, and the specimen they were performed on.

• Microbiological report (DiagnosticReport)
• Specimen
