Properties
| Code | URL | Description | Type |
| Specializes | The child code is a more narrow version of the concept represented by the parent code. I.e. Every child concept is also a valid parent concept. Used to allow determination of subsumption. Must be transitive, irreflexive, antisymmetric. | Coding | |
| Generalizes | Inverse of Specializes. Only included as a derived relationship. | Coding | |
| internalId | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#v3-internal-id | The internal identifier for the concept in the HL7 Access database repository. | code |
| status | http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#status | Designation of a concept's state. Normally is not populated unless the state is retired.. | code |
| conductible | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#rim-conductible | If true, indicates that ActRelationships or Participations of the specified type (and any specializations thereof) will normally conduct. For more usage information, refer to the Core Principles specification. | boolean |
| isDocumentCharacteristic | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#rim-document-characteristic | If true, indicates that the Act attribute or association (as represented by a typeCode for eaither ActRelationship or Pareticipation is a descriptor of the document (record) represented by the act object. If false, indicates the property is a descriptor of the action itself, actual, intended, or potential. Applies to interpretation of attributes and associations with respect to changes in the value of Act.actionNegationInd and Act.moodCode. (See descriptions of these attributes for further discussion.) For example, in an order, the id attribute [isDocumentCharacteristic = true] is an identifier of the record of the order, not an identifier of the intended event. On the other hand, the code attribute [isDocumentCharacteristic = false] describes a characteristic of the intended event. | boolean |

| 4 | CHRG | has charge | A relationship that provides an ability to associate a financial transaction (target) as a charge to a clinical act (source). A clinical act may have a charge associated with the execution or delivery of the service. The financial transaction will define the charge (bill) for delivery or performance of the service. Charges and costs are distinct terms. A charge defines what is charged or billed to another organization or entity within an organization.

| 3 | CIND | has contra-indication | A contraindication is just a negation of a reason, i.e. it gives a condition under which the action is not to be done. Both, source and target can be any kind of service; target service is in criterion mood. How the strength of a contraindication is expressed (e.g., relative, absolute) is left as an open issue. The priorityNumber attribute could be used. | 10323 | active | true | true | contraindicationFor | contraindication | CC_______ | CC_______ | action | contra-indication | & | & | _ActRelationshipConditional | |||
| 3 | PRCN | has pre-condition | A requirement to be true before a service is performed. The target can be any service in criterion mood.

| 3 | RSON | has reason | **Description:** The reason or rationale for a service. A reason link is weaker than a trigger, it only suggests that some service may be or might have been a reason for some action, but not that this reason requires/required the action to be taken. Also, as opposed to the trigger, there is no strong timely relation between the reason and the action. As well as providing various types of information about the rationale for a service, the RSON act relationship is routinely used between a SBADM act and an OBS act to describe the indication for use of a medication. Child concepts may be used to describe types of indication. *Discussion:* In prior releases, the code "SUGG" (suggests) was expressed as "an inversion of the reason link." That code has been retired in favor of the inversion indicator that is an attribute of ActRelationship. | 10321 | active | true | true | reasonOf | reason | CA_______ | CA_______ | action | reason | & | & | _ActRelationshipConditional | |||
| 4 | BLOCK | blocks | **Definition:** The source act is performed to block the effects of the target act. This act relationship should be used when describing near miss type incidents where potential harm could have occurred, but the action described in the source act blocked the potential harmful effects of the incident actually occurring. | 22188 | active | true | true | blockedBy | blocks | & | & | RSON | |||||||
| 4 | DIAG | diagnoses | **Description:** The source act is intended to help establish the presence of a (an adverse) situation described by the target act.

| 5 | ADJUNCT | adjunctive treatment | **Description:** The source act is intended to offer an additional treatment for the management or cure of a pre-existing adverse situation described by the target act. This is not limited to diseases but can apply to any adverse situation or condition of medical or technical nature. It is not a requirement that the non-adjunctive treatment is explicitly specified. | 23310 | active | true | true | adjunctiveTreatmentFor | & | & | TREAT | ||||||||
| 5 | MTREAT | maintenance treatment | **Description:** The source act is intended to provide long term maintenance improvement or management of a pre-existing adverse situation described by the target act.

| 3 | TRIG | has trigger | A pre-condition that if true should result in the source Act being executed. The target is in typically in criterion mood. When reported after the fact (i.e. the criterion has been met) it may be in Event mood. A delay between the trigger and the triggered action can be specified. *Discussion:* This includes the concept of a required act for a service or financial instrument such as an insurance plan or policy. In such cases, the trigger is the occurrence of a specific condition such as coverage limits being exceeded. | 10320 | active | true | true | triggerFor | trigger | CB_______ | CB_______ | action | trigger | & | & | _ActRelationshipConditional | |||

| 2 | CAUS | is etiology for | **Description:** An assertion that an act was the cause of another act.This is stronger and more specific than the support link. The source (cause) is typically an observation, but may be any act, while the target may be any act. **Examples:** * a growth of Staphylococcus aureus may be considered the cause of an abscess * contamination of the infusion bag was deemed to be the cause of the infection that the patient experienced * lack of staff on the shift was deemed to be a supporting factor (proximal factor) causing the patient safety incident where the patient fell out of bed because the bed-sides had not been put up which caused the night patient to fall out of bed | 10332 | active | true | cause | causeOf | DD_______ | DD_______ | cause | effect | & | & | ART | ||||

| 2 | MFST | is manifestation of | An assertion that a new observation may be the manifestation of another existing observation or action. This assumption is attributed to the same actor who asserts the manifestation. This is stronger and more specific than an inverted support link. For example, an agitated appearance can be asserted to be the manifestation (effect) of a known hyperthyroxia. This expresses that one might not have realized a symptom if it would not be a common manifestation of a known condition. The target (cause) may be any service, while the source (manifestation) must be an observation. | 10333 | active | true | manifestation | manifestationOf | DE_______ | DE_______ | manifestation | cause | & | & | ART | ||||

Otherwise a simpler relationship such as COMP would be appropriate. *Rationale:* There is a need when defining a clinical trial protocol to indicate that the protocol makes use of other protocol or treatment specifications. This is stronger than the assertion of "references". References may exist without usage, and in a clinical trial protocol is common to assert both: what other specifications does this trial use and what other specifications does it merely reference. | 23102 | active | true | usedBy | uses | DKA______ | DKA______ | & | & | A usage relationship only makes sense if the target act is authored and occurs independently of the source act.

| 2 | SEQL | is sequel | An act relationship indicating that the source act follows the target act. The source act should in principle represent the same kind of act as the target. Source and target need not have the same mood code (mood will often differ). The target of a sequel is called antecedent.

| 3 | OPTN | has option | A relationship between a source Act that provides more detailed properties to the target Act. The source act thus is a specialization of the target act, but instead of mentioning all the inherited properties it only mentions new property bindings or refinements. The typical use case is to specify certain alternative variants of one kind of Act. The priorityNumber attribute is used to weigh refinements as preferred over other alternative refinements. Example: several routing options for a drug are specified as one SubstanceAdministration for the general treatment with attached refinements for the various routing options. | 10347 | active | false | true | optionFor | option | BN_______ | BN_______ | & | & | SEQL | |||||

| 3 | REV | reverses | A relationship between a source Act that seeks to reverse or undo the action of the prior target Act. Example: A posted financial transaction (e.g., a debit transaction) was applied in error and must be reversed (e.g., by a credit transaction) the credit transaction is identified as an undo (or reversal) of the prior target transaction. Constraints: the "completion track" mood of the target Act must be equally or more "actual" than the source act. I.e., when the target act is EVN the source act can be EVN, or any INT.

| 3 | SPRTBND | has bounded support | A specialization of "has support" (SPRT), used to relate a secondary observation to a Region of Interest on a multidimensional observation, if the ROI specifies the true boundaries of the secondary observation as opposed to only marking the approximate area. For example, if the start and end of an ST elevation episode is visible in an EKG, this relation would indicate the ROI bounds the "ST elevation" observation -- the ROI defines the true beginning and ending of the episode. Conversely, if a ROI simply contains ST elevation, but it does not define the bounds (start and end) of the episode, the more general "has support" relation is used. Likewise, if a ROI on an image defines the true bounds of a "1st degree burn", the relation "has bounded support" is used; but if the ROI only points to the approximate area of the burn, the general "has support" relation is used. | 17899 | active | true | boundedSupportOf | boundedSupport | DAA______ | DAA______ | & | & | SPRT | ||||||
| 2 | SUBJ | has subject | Relates an Act to its subject Act that the first Act is primarily concerned with. Examples 1. The first Act may be a ControlAct manipulating the subject Act 2. The first act is a region of interest (ROI) that defines a region within the subject Act. 3. The first act is a reporting or notification Act, that echos the subject Act for a specific new purpose. Constraints An Act may have multiple subject acts. Rationale The ActRelationshipType "has subject" is similar to the ParticipationType "subject", Acts that primarily operate on physical subjects use the Participation, those Acts that primarily operate on other Acts (other information) use the ActRelationship. | 13971 | active | true | subjectOf | subject | DB_______ | DB_______ | & | & | ART | ||||||

| 2 | VALUE | has value | **Description:**Indicates that the target Act represents the result of the source observation Act. **FormalConstraint:** Source Act must be an Observation or specialization there-of. Source Act must not have the value attribute specified **UsageNote:** This relationship allows the result of an observation to be fully expressed as RIM acts as opposed to being embedded in the value attribute. For example, sending a Document act as the result of an imaging observation, sending a list of Procedures and/or other acts as the result of a medical history observation. The valueNegationInd attribute on the source Act has the same semantics of "negated finding" when it applies to the target of a VALUE ActRelationship as it does to the value attribute. On the other hand, if the ActRelationship.negationInd is true for a VALUE ActRelationship, that means the specified observation does not have the indicated value but does not imply a negated finding. Because the semantics are extremely close, it is recommended that Observation.valueNegationInd be used, not ActRelationship.negationInd. **OpenIssue:** The implications of negationInd on ActRelationship and the valueNegationind on Observation. | 23319 | active | & | & | ART | |||||||||||
