component

This element has a closed slice on Observation.component, discriminated by the value of Observation.component.code.text. This closed slice allows Systolic and Diastolic measurements to be populated.


The following values SHALL be used:

Observation.component:SystolicBP slice, discriminated by a Observation.component.code.text value of Systolic blood pressure, SHALL be used to record a systolic blood pressure measurement, which SHALL have a LOINC "magic code", and SHALL have a SNOMED CT concept used to record the type of systolic blood pressure measurement.

Observation.component:SystolicBP.code.text

The following SHALL be used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.code.text = Systolic blood pressure

Observation.component:SystolicBP.code.coding:loinc

The following SHALL be used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.code.coding.system = http://loinc.org
  • Observation.component.code.coding.code = 8480-6
  • Observation.component.code.coding.display = Systolic blood pressure

Observation.component:SystolicBP.code.coding:snomedCT

The following SHALL be used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.code.coding.system = http://snomed.info/sct
  • Observation.component.code.coding.code = A SNOMED CT concept Id from ValueSet UKCore-BloodPressure-Systolic
  • Observation.component.code.coding.display = The “preferred term” associated with the SNOMED CT concept, representing a systolic blood pressure measurement

Observation.component:SystolicBP.value[x]

The following SHALL be a Quantity, and the following used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.valueQuantity.system = http://unitsofmeasure.org
  • Observation.component.valueQuantityg.code = mm[Hg]
  • Observation.component.valueQuantity.unit = millimeter of mercury

Observation.component:DiastolicBP slice, discriminated by a Observation.component.code.text value of Diastolic blood pressure, SHOULD be used to also record a diastolic blood pressure measurement where present, which SHALL have a LOINC "magic code", and SHALL have a SNOMED CT concept used to record the type of diastolic blood pressure measurement if used.

Observation.component:DiastolicBP.code.text

The following SHALL be used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.code.text = Diastolic blood pressure

Observation.component:DiastolicBP.code.coding:loinc

The following SHALL be used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.code.coding.system = http://loinc.org
  • Observation.component.code.coding.code = 8462-4
  • Observation.component.code.coding.display = Diastolic blood pressure

Observation.component:DiastolicBP.code.coding:snomedCT

The following SHALL be used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.code.coding.system = http://snomed.info/sct
  • Observation.component.code.coding.code = A SNOMED CT concept Id from ValueSet UKCore-BloodPressure-Diastolic
  • Observation.component.code.coding.display = The “preferred term” associated with the SNOMED CT concept, representing a diastolic blood pressure measurement

Observation.component:DiastolicBP.value[x]

The following SHALL be a Quantity, and the following used for this profile:

  • Observation.component.valueQuantity.system = http://unitsofmeasure.org
  • Observation.component.valueQuantity.code = mm[Hg]
  • Observation.component.valueQuantity.unit = millimeter of mercury
