CodeSystem: ObservationMethod

Summary

Defining URL:http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationMethod
Version:2.0.0
Name:ObservationMethod
Status:Active as of 3/20/19
Definition:

A code that provides additional detail about the means or technique used to ascertain the observation.

Examples: Blood pressure measurement method: arterial puncture vs. sphygmomanometer (Riva-Rocci), sitting vs. supine position, etc.

OpenIssue: Description copied from Concept Domain of same name. Must be verified. Note that the Domain has a full discussion about use of the attribute and constraining that is not appropriate for the code system description. Needs to be improved.

Publisher:Health Level 7
