Entity Defined Observation Result

DescriptionA reusable template that describes possible findings of an observation.

For example:
A blood pressure measurement may result in a diastolic number and a systolic number.
The Defined Observation Result class can be used to represent defined ranges for contingencies by constraining the result attribute from ANY to IVL<PQ>, for instance, or any other range value. Such Defined Observation Results may be used as criteria for conditional activities or repeated activities.

 Derivation Expression Txt
DescriptionA character string containing a formal language expression that specifies how the observation result's attributes are, should be, or have been derived from input parameters associated with activity.

 Observation Result Type
DescriptionSpecifies the kind of observation result.

For example:
For blood pressure, the results might be 120 for systolic and 80 for diastolic, where systolic and diastolic are the types distinguishing the two numbers.

 Target Anatomic Site
DescriptionSpecifies the anatomic location that is the focus of the observation, procedure, study or result. The target site of an observation result may be different than the target site of the observation that generated it. For instance, the target site of the observation may be broad (for example, skin) while the target site of the observation result is specific (for example, skin on chest). Multiple contiguous sites within the same organ system may be referenced.

For example:
Lower intestine
Arm
Breast
Ovary
Kidney

DescriptionSpecifies the side of the body (or a paired organ) that is a target site for an observation.

For example:
Bilateral

 Value Negation Ind
DescriptionSpecifies whether, when the observation event occurred, the finding communicated by the value attribute was NOT found.
This should only be used when the terminology used for Defined Observation Result is not itself capable of expressing negated findings (for example, ICD9).

DescriptionData or information that is determined by an act of observation.

For example:
The result of a lab test, physical finding, self-reported symptom.
