ClinicalDocument/relatedDocument/parentDocument

This element SHALL be present in case of an update replacement of a previous report. In this case relatedDocument@typeCode attribute SHALL be valued "RPLC", the new report replacing the parent one.

Note 1: A non-final laboratory report published in an XDS infrastructure will likely be replaced afterwards by the final report. When this event occurs, the Content Creator Actor SHALL apply the following rules:

• ClinicalDocument/setId SHALL have the same value in the new report as in the replaced report.
• ClinicalDocument/versionNumber SHALL be incremented in the replacing report (i.e., the final one).
• ClinicalDocument/relatedDocument@typeCode attribute SHALL be valued ”RPLC”
• ClinicalDocument/relatedDocument/parentDocument/id in the new report SHALL be equal to ClinicalDocument/ id of the replaced document.

The Document Source Actor SHALL apply the following rules on XDSDocumentEntry metadata:

• The final report SHALL be associated with the previously published one, using RPLC relationship and the previous report SHALL be “Deprecated” as described in ITI TF-2:4.1.6.1.

Note 2: A non-final report can also be replaced by a more recent, albeit still non-final report. The rules above also apply in this case.

Note 3: A final report can also be replaced by a corrective final report. The rules above also apply in this case.
