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.orgObservation.component.code.coding.code=8480-6Observation.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/sctObservation.component.code.coding.code= A SNOMED CT concept Id from ValueSet UKCore-BloodPressure-SystolicObservation.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.orgObservation.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.orgObservation.component.code.coding.code=8462-4Observation.component.code.coding.display=Diastolic blood pressure
Observation.component:DiastolicBP.code.coding:snomedCT
