Gerard I am using the term 'assumed' value in the archetype editor. This seems helpful as it means that it does not have to be recorded and it is normal practice. A single BP reading is assumed to be sitting - possibly lying - but not standing. Weight is assumed to be measured in light clothing and without shoes...
For legacy systems this approach seems beneficial as there will be a lot of data missing!
