Clinical states, problems, diagnoses or other events and situations. Conditions can be documented by health professionals as descriptions of diseases. Conditions can be expressed by patients themselves in the course of an anamnesis (symptom).

Diagnostic certainty

The presence or absence of a clinical state or a diagnosis can be recorded via the elements Condition.clinicalStatus and Condition.verificationStatus.

The following combinations of clinicalStatus and verificationStatus are necessary to equivalently represent the four values of diagnostic certainty:

• A (excluded) => clinicalStatus = empty, verificationStatus="refuted"
• G (confirmed diagnosis) => clinicalStatus = "active", verificationStatus="confirmed"
• V (suspected / to rule out) => clinicalStatus = "active", verificationStatus="provisional" or "differential"
• Z (status post) => clinicalStatus = "resolved", verificationStatus="confirmed"

See also diagnostic certainty in the FHIR base profiles and in the MII Diagnosis module.
