I tried to find this answer in the group and other documentation but not having much luck. If I create a new event_cd and document that in iview / powerform. Is there a way to use the Observation method to read and or write to that event_cd / dta? like pass in the cki value from the code_value table or some other identifier? I'm thinking of just normal every day custom codes that don't tie back to loinc / snomed etc.
Thanks!
Luke

You can use the proprietary code values for multiple of the fields on Observation [1]. Once the code (codeset 72) is configured in the event set hierarchy, it can be used in the Observation resource.

Aaron that is great. thank you! do you know if I can search for an observation at the encounter level, I think the answer is no, and I'll always get last charted value, but just trying to mimic some ccl I already have, if I need it to be encounter specific.

We unfortunately don't support searching by encounter [1] at this point.

Aaron,
When I query by an observation for a patient, I do see code_set 72 listed as the system type, which is great, but if I try to limit my query to specific value in code_set 72, I get nothing, using loinc, I get values. 
Is there an example R4 query by code_value for observations?
I see the responses in your link above, but not the URL for obtaining that data.
Thanks!
Luke

Hello,

You cannot search Observation by proprietary code/event_cd [http://fhir.cerner.com/millennium/r4/diagnostic/observation/#parameters]- 
  • The code parameter:
    • May be a list of comma separated values. A system must be provided for each code.
    • Searches only Observation.code. For example when fetching blood pressures the resource will be only be returned when the search is based on 85354-9(Systolic and Diastolic BP). Using the component codes 8480-6(Systolic BP) or 8462-4 (Diastolic BP) will not return the resource.
    • Searching with proprietary codes or systems is not supported.

If you are using LOINC, we would need to make sure that event_cd is mapped to a LOINC you are using.

Thanks,
Fenil (Cerner)

so we can get a return of code_set 72 when displaying observations, but for our home grown event codes, we are stuck, because we can't map them without your help? 
Is that functionality being developed?
Thank you!
