Attributes

Own

  • id 0..1
    • Description: The 'logical' identifier of the entity within the system of record. The simple value of this attribute stands for an identifier of this data object within the system, it can be used as a reference from other objects within the same system (i.e. primary and foreign keys), and it should be unique per type of object. The same data object copied to a different system will likely have a different "id" in the new system since "id" values are system specific and do not represent persistent business identifiers. Business identifiers are assigned outside the information system and are captured in the "identifier" field. The "id" field is more likely to be a serially or randomly generated value that is assigned to the data object as it is created in a system.
    • Range: CrdchString
  • category 0..1
    • Description: The general category of observation described
    • Range: CodeableConcept
  • observation_type 1..1
    • Description: The type of cancer staging component being represented (e.g. 'Clinical Metastasis (M)')
    • Range: CodeableConcept
    • Examples: Overall, Tumor (T), Node (N), Metastasis (M), Clinical Overall, Clinical Tumor (T), Clinical Node (N), Clinical Metastasis (M), Pathological Overall, Pathological Tumor (T), Pathological Node (N), Pathological Metastasis (M), Ann Arbor Modifier
  • method_type 0..1
    • Description: A type of method used in generating the Observation result.
    • Range: CodeableConcept
  • focus 0..1
    • Description: The entity or entities directly observed/measured in generating an observation result.
    • Range: Entity
  • subject 0..1
    • Description: The patient that the observation is about (if not the direct focus). e.g. observations are often made on specimens derived from a patient, or other entities related to a patient, that ultimately tell us something about the patient of interest.
    • Range: Subject
  • performed_by 0..1
    • Description: The organization or group that performed the observation activity.
    • Range: Organization
  • value_codeable_concept 1..1
    • Description: The value for a cancer staging component being represented (e.g. 'M1'), encoded as a CodeableConcept.
    • Range: CodeableConcept
    • Examples: M0, M1, M1a, N0, N0 (i+), N0 (i-)
