Attribute Details |
Description | Identifies the anatomic location or access point for an observation or procedure. Neither target anatomic site nor approach anatomic site is necessarily required or relevant for certain observations, however if either or both are present then the distinction between them is that the approach site is the access point for the measurement or observation and the target site is what is ultimately being evaluated. For example: Anus for a colonoscopy observation Arm for an injection Trans-abdominal for a nephrectomy |

Is Part Of PrimaryKey | false |
Is Required | false |
Is Derived | false |
Is Surrogate Key | false |
Description | The quantity of time in which the observation result is held to be true. For example: 2 months is the focal duration for a question such as "Have you smoked in the last 2 months?". |
Data Type | Standards - Data Domains.ddm/Data Domains/Date [DATE] |
Is Part Of PrimaryKey | false |
Is Required | false |
Is Derived | false |
Is Surrogate Key | false |
Description | The time period in which the observation result is held to be true. |
Data Type | Standards - Data Domains.ddm/Data Domains/Date [DATE] |
Is Part Of PrimaryKey | false |
Is Required | false |
Is Derived | false |
Is Surrogate Key | false |
Description | A character string that is a revision of the original text of the procedure to enable the coding of the text. For example: If the original text is "message", the Name Code Modified Text could be set to "massage", so that the text can be successfully coded. |

Is Part Of PrimaryKey | false |
Is Required | false |
Is Derived | false |
Is Surrogate Key | false |
Description | A coded value specifying the motivation, cause or rationale that is explicitly NOT why an activity occurred. |

Is Part Of PrimaryKey | false |
Is Required | false |
Is Derived | false |
Is Surrogate Key | false |
Description | Specifies the technique used to perform the observation. For example: Arterial puncture, sphygmomanometry (for blood pressure measurement) Global introspection, algorithm, bayesian (for Adverse Event causality) Estrogen Receptor Assay, Progesterone Receptor Assay, p53 Assay (for clinical result assay) |
Data Type | Standards - Data Domains.ddm/Data Domains/Enumeration [VARCHAR(20)] |
Is Part Of PrimaryKey | false |
Is Required | false |
Is Derived | false |
Is Surrogate Key | false |
Description | Specifies whether the time of the process step is specified using standard (as opposed to daylight savings) time. If the location and date are known, this data is derivable. |
Data Type | Standards - Data Domains.ddm/Data Domains/Boolean Indicator [INTEGER] |
Is Part Of PrimaryKey | false |
Is Required | false |
Is Derived | false |
Is Surrogate Key | false |
Description | The anatomic location that is the focus of the observation, procedure, study or result. The target site of an observation result can be different to the target site of the observation that generated it. For example; The target site of the observation can be broad, such as "skin", while the target site of the observation result is specific, such as "skin on chest". Multiple contiguous sites within the same organ system can be referenced. For example: Lower intestine Arm Breast Ovary Kidney |
