Re: Normal range/reference ranges for text data type

Hello Silje, We had a little discussion on the matter in the questions part of the wiki this year https://openehr.atlassian.net/wiki/questions/30900242/how-to-model-meta-archetypes Regards 2016-09-28 13:27 GMT+02:00 Bakke, Silje Ljosland : > Hi everyone, > >

Re: Normal range/reference ranges for text data type

Hi Silje, This seems a bit odd to me. Do labs normally If a result is expressed as normal/ abnormal or high/normal/low, surely the 'normalcy range' is self-defining. If there is a need for the lab to assert some kind of textual normalcy rangeThe 'reference range guidance' element in the Lab

Normal range/reference ranges for text data type

Hi everyone, We're working on requirements for labs results, and have bumped into a potential problem. Some results are textual/non-quantitative in nature, for example "positive/negative", "+/++/+++", "negative/borderline/positive". These results also need a kind of "normal range" for the

Re: Normal range/reference ranges for text data type

Normally this is done with the Ordinal (DV_ORDINAL) data type, which is a kind of DV_ORDERED , which has normal_range and reference_ranges defined. - thomas On 28/09/2016 14:25, Karsten Hilbert

Re: Normal range/reference ranges for text data type

Thanks Thomas, Good suggestion. @karsten. The reference range guidance element could be made computable by using a coded text and controlled terminology, rather than just plain text. Ian On Wed, 28 Sep 2016 at 15:43, Thomas Beale wrote: > > Normally this is done with
