C.17.2.5 Verifying Observer, Author Observer and Participant Sequences
The Verifying Observer Sequence (0040,A073), Author Observer Sequence (0040,A078), and Participant Sequence (0040,A07A) identify significant contributors to the SR document. The Author creates the clinical content of the document. The Verifying Observer verifies and accepts legal responsibility for the content. Other participants may include an Attestor, a person identified as a Participant who"signs"anSRdocument,butwhodoesnothavelegalauthoritytoverifytheclinicalcontent.E.g.,anSRdocumentmaybeauthored and attested by a resident, and then verified by a staff physician; or a document may be authored by a CAD device and attested by a technologist, and then verified by a physician; or a technologist working with a measurement software package may be the author, the package is a Source participant, and the final content is verified by a physician.
AnindividualshallnotbeidentifiedinboththeVerifyingObserverSequence(asthelegalauthenticator)andintheParticipantSequence as an Attestor. An individual may be identified in both the Author Observer Sequence and either the Verifying Observer Sequence or the Participant Sequence.

C.17.2.6 Equivalent CDA Document
The Referenced Instance Sequence (0008,114A) with a Purpose of Reference Code Sequence value of (121331, DCM, "Equivalent CDA Document") identifies an HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) Document that contains clinical content equivalent to this SR Document SOP Instance. This referenced CDA Document may be a source document that was transformed to create this SR Document, or it may be a transcoding of the content created simultaneously for both the SR Document and the CDA Document.
Note
1.Reference to a CDA Document created as a transcoding of the SR Document subsequent to the creation of the SR SOP Instance would not be encodable in that SOP Instance.
2.ThereisnorequirementthatthetransformortranscodingbetweenDICOMSRandHL7CDAbereversible.Inparticular, someAttributesoftheDICOMPatient,Study,andSeriesIEshavenocorrespondingstandardencoding intheHL7CDA Header, and vice versa. Such Attributes, if transcoded, may need to be encoded in implementation-dependent "local markup" (in HL7 CDA) or Private Data Elements (in DICOM SR) in an implementation-dependent manner; some such Attributessmaynotbetranscodedatall.Itisaresponsibilityofthetransformingapplicationtoensureclinicalequivalence.
3.Due to the inherent differences between DICOM SR and HL7 CDA, a transcoded document should have a different UID than the source document.
The Referenced SOP Instance UID (0008,1155) in Items of this Sequence is mapped to the native HL7 Instance Identifier through the HL7 Structured Document Reference Sequence (0040,A390) of the SOP Common Module.
C.17.2.7 Completion Flag
Completion Flag (0040,A491) describes the estimated degree of completeness of this SR Document.
Completeness of an SR Document is defined in relation to the scope of the Requested Procedure and the scope of the Root Concept Name. E.g., a Completion Flag value of "COMPLETE" may indicate that the document content includes all significant observations within the topic of the root Concept Name (as restricted by any Concept Modifiers) that are related to the Requested Procedure identified in the Referenced Request Sequence (0040,A370).
The criteria by which the Application Entity determines completeness shall be specified in the Conformance Statement.
Note
1.The concept of "completeness" is independent of the concept of preliminary or final; see the description of Preliminary Flag (0040,A496). An SR Document may be Complete, but may also be Preliminary pending a laboratory test result.
