Observation.ReferenceRange

Measurements and simple assertions made about a patient, device or other subject.

Measurements and simple assertions made about a patient, device or other

subject.

param id_

None

param extension

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic

definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

param modifierExtension

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic

definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element’s descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

param low

The value of the low bound of the reference range. The low bound of the

reference range endpoint is inclusive of the value (e.g. reference range is >=5 - <=9). If the low bound is omitted, it is assumed to be meaningless (e.g. reference range is <=2.3).

param high

The value of the high bound of the reference range. The high bound of the

reference range endpoint is inclusive of the value (e.g. reference range is >=5 - <=9). If the high bound is omitted, it is assumed to be meaningless (e.g. reference range is >= 2.3).

param type_

Codes to indicate the what part of the targeted reference population it

applies to. For example, the normal or therapeutic range.
param appliesTo

Codes to indicate the target population this reference range applies to. For

example, a reference range may be based on the normal population or a particular sex or race. Multiple appliesTo are interpreted as an “AND” of the target populations. For example, to represent a target population of African American females, both a code of female and a code for African American would be used.

param age

The age at which this reference range is applicable. This is a neonatal age

(e.g. number of weeks at term) if the meaning says so.
param text

Text based reference range in an observation which may be used when a

quantitative range is not appropriate for an observation. An example would be a reference value of “Negative” or a list or table of “normals”.
