Each entry in the classification needs:
- a screen representation (‘+++')
- a description (‘moderate')
in theory these two come from DV_ORDINAL.symbol, which is a
DV_CODED_TEXT. That assumes a text value of '+++' and either a
description or synonym (or both) of 'moderate'.
- an expression defining the inclusion criteria ('Lower Limit' <
‘Value' < 'Higher limit'
- an expression defining the exclusion criteria ('no diagnosis of xyz')
these are semantic things and I think have to be outside of the
DV_ORDINAL data type definition, which after all just represents a
value. Once you add these, it becomes a disease- or test-specific
definition. I'm not sure where we would put these things - I think
probably in a knowledge base of semantic definitions of different test
results. One might argue that SNOMED should provide that, but I'm
inclined to think it belongs in a knowledge base of lab-related ranges,
labels and other computational elements, like the 'presentation ranking
number' and 'value for calculation support' you have below.
And perhaps each entry needs:
- Ranking number (‘1')
DV_ORDINAL.value.
- Presentation ranking number (‘4')
- Associated value for calculation support (‘100')
To my ideas the Semantic Ordinal, as described, actually is an
Archetype Pattern or a Data Type.
did you mean 'of a Data Type'?
I think the above ideas are all likely to be useful, but they won't all
fit inside DV_ORDINAL...
