1.0.0 - CI Build International flag

This page is part of the WHO Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC) (v1.0.0: releases Draft) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: DDCC Diagnostic Report

Official URL: http://smart.who.int/ddcc/StructureDefinition/DDCCDiagnosticReport Version: 1.0.0
Draft as of 2024-10-15 Computable Name: DDCCDiagnosticReport

A DDCC Diagnostic Report contains the content corresponding to a row in the Test Events section of a Paper DDCC. While this is not a further profile of the International Patient Summary (IPS) DiagnosticReport resouce, this is intended to map into an IPS DiagnosticReport resource.
