I'm working on parsing a the Results section of the machine processable section of a CCD. Is there way to tell the difference a lab result a radiology/imaging result? It seems the entries are build the same way:

<entry typeCode="DRIV">
<organizer classCode="BATTERY" moodCode="EVN">
<templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.1" extension="2015-08-01"/>
<templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.1"/>
<id root="2C830832-4E70-494E-A8C9-0E3A6BF07113"/>
...
<statusCode code="completed"/>
<component>
<observation classCode="OBS" moodCode="EVN">
<templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.2" extension="2015-08-01"/>
<templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.2"/>
...
</observation>
</component>
</organizer>
</entry>

This is a CDA question, not a V2 question, but I will stil try to answer:

If the battery code (or the observation.code in the result) is LOINC coded, then you can use the knowledge in LOINC to look at the class property to decide that. I believe also that these should fall into different document sections that are also identified with LOINC codes...

Thanks for the response. My problem is the CDA samples I'm working with are built like this

<code nullFlavor="UNK">
<originalText>RADRPT</originalText>
</code>

With just pointers to the human readable. Which technically is a valid CDA but pretty lazy. So I was hoping there was an OID or something that I was missing in trying to determine if it was a lab or imaging.

Thanks

Hi Derek,

There is a zulip group for CDA related questions and concerns. You can post your question there as well to get answers for CDA related questions.
You can probably register from this link: https://chat.fhir.org/

Thanks,
