Advisory: Order Status Values are Inappropriately Mapped in Some Circumstances

This problem affects the following products:

  • HealthShare Unified Care Record, all versions
  • HealthShare Health Connect, all versions
  • InterSystems IRIS for Health, all versions

In InterSystems SDA data model, orders are captured in the following streamlet types:

  • Medication
  • Vaccination
  • LabOrder
  • RadOrder
  • OtherOrder

Each of these orders may contain a Status property.

  • Inbound data transformations map values from source data into the SDA Status property for each type of order.
  • Outbound data transformations map the SDA Status property to target data standards.
  • Clinical Viewer and Personal Community apply additional transformations to the SDA Status property when displaying the data for use in those systems.

InterSystems has identified the following issue with these transformations:
Inappropriate or missing mappings may result in inaccurate or ambiguous information regarding the status of the order.

This has been identified as a clinical safety risk as this information may be used in clinical decision making. The details regarding the impacted transformations are detailed in this advisory.

  • All HealthShare solution customers are affected by this issue.
  • Health Connect and InterSystems IRIS for Health customers are affected by this issue if they store Medication, Vaccination, LabOrder, RadOrder, or OtherOrder data in SDA.

A fix is not yet available for this issue. InterSystems recommends that customers notify their users and recipients of outbound data that order status information should not be relied upon for clinical decision making.

Additional Information

The values from each source format are mapped to values within SDA and then may be further transformed upon ingestion into downstream systems or for outbound data standards. For example, a value of “HD” from HL7v2 is stored as “H” in SDA and displays as “On Hold” in Clinical Viewer and Personal Community. This is an example of an appropriate mapping where the meaning of the source value is retained.

There are a very large number of mappings between source and target values across all of InterSystem's data transformations. Each mapping was reviewed by the InterSystem's clinical safety team using a standardized process to determine which values were appropriately and inappropriately mapped.

In each of the following tables only the inappropriate mappings are listed. If a source value or target format/system and value is not listed here, the mapping has been assessed to be appropriate. For example:

  • The HL7v2 value of “ER” is appropriately retained in SDA as “ER” and appropriately displayed in Personal Community as “ER”
  • The value is inappropriately displayed in Clinical Viewer as “Verified” and inappropriately mapped in outbound CDA/C-CDA and FHIR data

The following tables will list only the “ER” mappings for Clinical Viewer, CDA/C-CDA, and FHIR, but not for SDA and Personal Community.
