Hi Sam, Thanks for your answer.
That's exactly what I've tried to do, look for a constraint to the reference range of a Quantity. I think I can extend my templates to support this requirement, may be using the Assertion model. I'm using a custom template model. I have seen the datatype model, that's exactly what I whant to define with archetype/template model (if it's the right place to do it, now I see the archetypes are not a good place to do so). Thanks a lot! Cheers, Pablo.

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.

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!
