Observations POST , "Unprocessable entity" for Blood glucose

[Simun Romic]

Could you help me out with this request - Blood glucose observation.

I tried to send a blood glucose with a code proposed for BG - 2339-0  but getting the Unprocessed entity response back - I'm trying in the sandbox env.

Here is a payload I'm trying with:

{
    "category":
    [
        {
            "coding":
            [
                {
                    "code": "vital-signs",
                    "display": "Vital Signs",
                    "system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/observation-category"
                }
            ],
            "text": "Vital Signs"
        }
    ],
    "code":
    {
        "coding":
        [
            {
                "code": "2339-0",
                "display": "Glucose [Mass/volume] in Blood",
                "system": "http://loinc.org"
            }
        ]
    },
    "effectiveDateTime": "2021-04-15T19:22:00.000Z",
    "issued": "2021-04-15T19:22:40.000Z",

    "resourceType": "Observation",
    "status": "final",

    "subject":
    {
        "reference": "Patient/12724065"
    },
    "valueQuantity":
    {
        "code": "mg/dl",
        "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org",
        "unit": "mg/dl",
        "value": 215
    }
}

Request id is: 8e351ed4-598a-4640-ad3d-eb4118e6b1b6

Thanks,

Greetings,

The LOINC code used in the request, 2339-0, falls under Observation Laboratory instead of Vital Signs. You would need to replace the category in the request to be Laboratory.

Thank you,
