    Class ObservationComponentComponent

    ObservationComponentComponent Class

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Component results
    • Definition: Some observations have multiple component observations. These component observations are expressed as separate code value pairs that share the same attributes. Examples include systolic and diastolic component observations for blood pressure measurement and multiple component observations for genetics observations.
    • Comment: For a discussion on the ways Observations can be assembled in groups together see Notes below.
    • Requirements: Component observations share the same attributes in the Observation resource as the primary observation and are always treated a part of a single observation (they are not separable). However, the reference range for the primary observation value is not inherited by the component values and is required when appropriate for each component observation.

    Observation.component.code Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Type of component observation (code / type)
    • Definition: Describes what was observed. Sometimes this is called the observation "code".
    • Comment: All code-value and component.code-component.value pairs need to be taken into account to correctly understand the meaning of the observation.
    • Requirements: Knowing what kind of observation is being made is essential to understanding the observation.
    • FHIR Type: CodeableConcept
    • Cardinality: 1..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    value?: IDataType

    Observation.component.value[x] Element

    @ChoiceDataTypesMeta('Observation.component.value[x]', ['Quantity','CodeableConcept','string','boolean','integer','Range','Ratio','SampledData','time','dateTime','Period',]

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Actual component result
    • Definition: The information determined as a result of making the observation, if the information has a simple value.
    • Comment: Used when observation has a set of component observations. An observation may have both a value (e.g. an Apgar score) and component observations (the observations from which the Apgar score was derived). If a value is present, the datatype for this element should be determined by Observation.code. A CodeableConcept with just a text would be used instead of a string if the field was usually coded, or if the type associated with the Observation.code defines a coded value. For additional guidance, see the Notes section below.
    • Requirements: An observation exists to have a value, though it might not if it is in error, or if it represents a group of observations.
    • FHIR Types: 'Quantity', 'CodeableConcept', 'string', 'boolean', 'integer', 'Range', 'Ratio', 'SampledData', 'time', 'dateTime', 'Period',
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    dataAbsentReason?: CodeableConcept

    Observation.component.dataAbsentReason Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Why the component result is missing
    • Definition: Provides a reason why the expected value in the element Observation.component.value[x] is missing.
    • Comment: "Null" or exceptional values can be represented two ways in FHIR Observations. One way is to simply include them in the value set and represent the exceptions in the value. For example, measurement values for a serology test could be "detected", "not detected", "inconclusive", or "test not done". The alternate way is to use the value element for actual observations and use the explicit dataAbsentReason element to record exceptional values. For example, the dataAbsentReason code "error" could be used when the measurement was not completed. Because of these options, use-case agreements are required to interpret general observations for exceptional values.
    • Requirements: For many results it is necessary to handle exceptional values in measurements.
    • FHIR Type: CodeableConcept
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: false
    interpretation?: CodeableConcept[]

    Observation.component.interpretation Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: High, low, normal, etc.
    • Definition: A categorical assessment of an observation value. For example, high, low, normal.
    • Comment: Historically used for laboratory results (known as 'abnormal flag' ), its use extends to other use cases where coded interpretations are relevant. Often reported as one or more simple compact codes this element is often placed adjacent to the result value in reports and flow sheets to signal the meaning/normalcy status of the result.
    • Requirements: For some results, particularly numeric results, an interpretation is necessary to fully understand the significance of a result.
    • FHIR Type: CodeableConcept
    • Cardinality: 0..*
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: false
    referenceRange?: ObservationReferenceRangeComponent[]

    Observation.component.referenceRange Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Provides guide for interpretation of component result
    • Definition: Guidance on how to interpret the value by comparison to a normal or recommended range.
    • Comment: Most observations only have one generic reference range. Systems MAY choose to restrict to only supplying the relevant reference range based on knowledge about the patient (e.g., specific to the patient's age, gender, weight and other factors), but this might not be possible or appropriate. Whenever more than one reference range is supplied, the differences between them SHOULD be provided in the reference range and/or age properties.
    • Requirements: Knowing what values are considered "normal" can help evaluate the significance of a particular result. Need to be able to provide multiple reference ranges for different contexts.
    • FHIR Type: BackboneElement
    • Cardinality: 0..*
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: false
