HdBe-BodyHeight

CBBDescriptionStatus
HdBe-BodyHeight

A person’s body height.

Purpose

Body height is used for various reasons, including to measure growth, such as in babies, children or adolescents, to calculate body surface area, to for example calculate the correct amount of medication, or in combination with body weight to calculate the Body Mass Index. Height is also used to determine a person’s nutritional state.

BodyHeight
DefinitionRoot concept of the BodyHeight information model. This root concept contains all data elements of the BodyHeight information model.

BodyHeight.extension
DefinitionMay 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.

Comments

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

BodyHeight.HeightValue
DefinitionThe element contains the value of the measured body height in centimeters. Body height is the height of the human body from heel to scalp, generally measured when standing. Body height is measured in a stretched, horizontal position for very small children or patients that are unable to stand.

TypeQuantity
Comments

The context of use may frequently define what kind of quantity this is and therefore what kind of units can be used. The context of use may also restrict the values for the comparator.

Comments

Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.
