Code | Display | Definition | V2 Concept Comment | V2 Concept Comment As Published |
AOE | Ask at Order Entry | Ask at Order Entry | Sub-type of QST (Question) - OBX-5 value is answer to an Ask at Order Entry question | Sub-type of QST (Question) - OBX-5 value is answer to an Ask at Order Entry question |
ASC | Ask at Specimen Collection | Ask at Specimen Collection | Sub-type of QST (Question) - OBX-5 value is answer to an Ask at Specimen Collection question | Sub-type of QST (Question) - OBX-5 value is answer to an Ask at Specimen Collection question |
MCS | Micro Culture Status | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations that give overall culture outcome, when no specific organism is being named. | Examples are: no growth, normal flora | |
MID | Micro Isolate Descriptor | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies any other observations about the isolate. | Examples: catalase positive, hemolytic, etc. | |
MIG | Micro Isolate Growth Quantity | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies growth levels of an isolate – can be numeric or categorical. | Examples: <10,000 CFU, >100,00 CFU, Few, Moderate, Many, etc. | |
MIN | Micro Isolate Name | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations that name a specific organism either at the species or the genus level. | Examples are: Genus Serratia, Neisseria meningitidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, but also identification on a culture plate like presumptive Proteus species. | |
MIR | Micro Isolate Related | Micro Isolate Related | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - qualifies the result as an isolate. | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - qualifies the result as an isolate. |
MIRM | Micro Isolate Related Modifier | Micro Isolate Related Modifier | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result is a modifier of the isolate (e.g., Few, Some, etc.) | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result is a modifier of the isolate (e.g., Few, Some, etc.) |
MNIR | Micro Non-Isolate Related | Micro Non-Isolate Related | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - qualifies result as microbiology not related to any isolate (e.g., gram stain observations) | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - qualifies result as microbiology not related to any isolate (e.g., gram stain observations) |
MOD | Micro Other Descriptor | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations that do not fit the culture status, but is not at the isolate level. | | |
MSS | Micro Sample Stain | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations on gram stains (and other stains or smears) on the clinical sample. | Examples are: many gram positive rods, acid fast bacteria seen, etc. | |
SUP | Supplemental Result | Supplemental Result | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result coming over is additional material, for example points on a graph, an image, raw instrument data, links to related observations, etc. | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result coming over is additional material, for example points on a graph, an image, raw instrument data, links to related observations, etc. |
SUR | Susceptibility Related | Susceptibility Related | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result value is for micro susceptibility/sensitivity | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result value is for micro susceptibility/sensitivity |
UNSP | Unspecified | Unspecified | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result falls outside of the other sub-types. | Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result falls outside of the other sub-types. |
