Hi Pablo
The issue is that you do not see the reference model attributes in the archetype editor. A Quantity data type has a normal range and other reference ranges built in. We do not set the reference ranges in archetypes as these vary and archetypes are the absolute statement about things (what could possibly be true ever, anywhere). So it is in the form or data that you will get access to the reference range. You could set it in a template (not possible in our tools as yet). Generally the reference ranges come with the results from the lab or a dynamic depending on gender, age etc. I hope this is helpful - have a look at the data type specs for clarification. The UML is at: http://www.openehr.org/uml/release-1.0.1/Browsable/_9_0_76d0249_110959933787 7_94556_1510Report.html You will see an optional normal_range and 0..* other reference ranges as part of a root abstract class DV_ORDERED Cheers, Sam From: [email protected] [mailto:openehr-technical-bounces at openehr.org] On Behalf Of pablo pazos Sent: Tuesday, 13 October 2009 8:02 AM To: openehr-clinical at openehr.org; openehr-technical at openehr.org Subject: Modeling reference ranges Hi, I'm playing around with archetypes trying to model an observation and its reference ranges, I mean something like "blood pressure" and some range to define what is "hypertension", but I can't found an archetype that defines a reference range for an observation. Any one has experience in modeling something like this? An archetype is the correct place to define a reference range for an observation value? Any ideas? Thak you!
