Observation Component

Some observations have multiple component observations. These component observations are expressed as separate code-value pairs that share the same attributes. An example includes systolic and diastolic component observations for blood pressure measurement.

Attributs

AttributTypeMultiplicitéNote sur l’attribut
Observation Component Code Codeable Concept 1
Uniquely specifies the observation component. Value Set: To be developed.
Observation Component Interpretation Type Code Codeable Concept 0..*
Uniquely specifies rough qualitative interpretation(s) of the observation component value (e.g., better, worse, significant change up, significant change down). Value Set: To be developed.
Observation Component Value Code Codeable Concept 0..1
Uniquely specifies the actual value of the observation component (as a code from a code system in a value set). The value set is specific to the observation being captured.
Observation Component Value Quantity Quantity 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as a decimal quantity). Quantity.Unit of Measure Code is optional, and not applicable when the observation component code already states or presupposes a specific unit of measure.
Observation Component Value Integer Integer 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as an integer).
Observation Component Value Date Time Date Time 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as a date time). Note: the time part is optional; the date part can have any of following granularities (in any format): (i) year, month, day; or year, day of year (ii) year, month; (iii) year only.
Observation Component Value Time Time 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as a time: 1 or more of hours, minutes, seconds, fractions of seconds).
Observation Component Value Description String 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as a textual description).
Observation Component Value Indicator Indicator 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as an indicator).
Observation Component Value Range Range 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as a range). Range.Unit of Measure Code, for both low end and high end, is optional, and not applicable when the observation component code already states or presupposes a specific unit of measure.
Observation Component Value Ratio Ratio 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as a ratio). Ratio.Unit of Measure Code, for both numerator and denominator, is optional, and not applicable when the observation component code already states or presupposes a specific unit of measure.
Observation Component Value Sampled Data Sampled Data 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as sampled data: origin (zero/baseline decimal value and unit of measure), period between samples (milliseconds), dimensions, and optionally one or more of: factor, lower limit of detection, upper limit of detection, data as string).
Observation Component Value Period Period 0..1
The actual value of the observation component (as a period).
