Laboratory results are typically generated by laboratories providing analytic services in areas such as chemistry, hematology, serology, histology, cytology, anatomic pathology (including digital pathology), microbiology, and/or virology.

This category includes observations resulting from interventional and non-interventional procedures excluding laboratory and imaging (e.g., cardiology catheterization, endoscopy, electrodiagnostics, etc.). Procedure results are typically generated by a clinician to provide more granular information about component observations made during a procedure. An example would be when a gastroenterologist reports the size of a polyp observed during a colonoscopy.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">survey<a name="observation-category-survey"> </a></td><td>Survey</td><td>Assessment tool/survey instrument observations (e.g., Apgar Scores, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)).</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">exam<a name="observation-category-exam"> </a></td><td>Exam</td><td>Observations generated by physical exam findings including direct observations made by a clinician and use of simple instruments and the result of simple maneuvers performed directly on the patient's body.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">therapy<a name="observation-category-therapy"> </a></td><td>Therapy</td><td>Observations generated by non-interventional treatment protocols (e.g. occupational, physical, radiation, nutritional and medication therapy)</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">activity<a name="observation-category-activity"> </a></td><td>Activity</td><td>Observations that measure or record any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness.
