Hello,

In the "Cures Update (SVAP USCDI v2) Test Data for 170.315(b)(1) - Transitions of Care Ambulatory Setting" test script for patient Alice Newman, Test Case U is concerned with the SDOH Health Concern. I believe the script test case as written breaks conformance statements of the Health Concern Act V3 (2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.132). Specifically, this would be  CONF:4515-32311 in the C-CDA Companion Guide R3.

The Health Concern Act V3 is the outer wrapper of this entry. The act's code is fixed to LOINC 75310-3 "Health Concern" per the act's template. This act contains the Problem Observation describing the Health Concern with a value corresponding to the codified problem.

As written, it appears the script is expecting the Health Concern Act wrapper to contain SNOMED-CT code for "Nutrition impaired due to limited access to healthful foods", and the Problem Observation to contain SNOMED-CT code for "Food insecurity". 

If this is the case, it is possible to meet the Problem Observation expectation, but not the Health Concern Act expectation. We are looking for clarification around the expectation of these codes.

Thank you!

Hi, Ryan,

 

I agree this looks like an oversight in the test data – excerpt from R3 Companion guide:

Hi Brett.

From original question
"As written, it appears the script is expecting the Health Concern Act wrapper to contain SNOMED-CT code for "Nutrition impaired due to limited access to healthful foods", and the Problem Observation to contain SNOMED-CT code for "Food insecurity". if this is the case, it is possible to meet the Problem Observation expectation, but not the Health Concern Act expectation. "

Additional Clarity
Since the Health Concern act does not / cannot contain the SNOMED-CT code, what can be clarified in the info below to meet this test case and meet the expectations you posted from the R3 Companion Guide?

Food Insecurity > /entry/act/entryRelationship[1]/(problem)observation
Nutrition impaired > /entry/act/entryRelationship[2]/(problem)observation
