Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description

IMAGING	Observations generated by imaging.
LABORATORY	The results of observations generated by laboratories.
NULL	added to help the parsers
PROCEDURE	Observations generated by other procedures.
SOCIALHISTORY	The Social History Observations define the patient's occupational, personal (e.g.
SURVEY	Assessment tool/survey instrument observations (e.g.
THERAPY	Observations generated by non-interventional treatment protocols (e.g.
VITALSIGNS	Clinical observations measure the body's basic functions such as such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, height, weight, body mass index, head circumference, pulse oximetry, temperature, and body surface area.

Enum Constant Details

SOCIALHISTORY

public static final ObservationCategory SOCIALHISTORY

The Social History Observations define the patient's occupational, personal (e.g. lifestyle), social, and environmental history and health risk factors, as well as administrative data such as marital status, race, ethnicity and religious affiliation.

VITALSIGNS

public static final ObservationCategory VITALSIGNS

Clinical observations measure the body's basic functions such as such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, height, weight, body mass index, head circumference, pulse oximetry, temperature, and body surface area.

IMAGING

public static final ObservationCategory IMAGING

Observations generated by imaging. The scope includes observations, plain x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography, echocardiography, nuclear medicine.

LABORATORY

public static final ObservationCategory LABORATORY

The results of observations generated by laboratories. Laboratory results are typically generated by laboratories providing analytic services in areas such as chemistry, hematology, serology, histology, cytology, anatomic pathology, microbiology, and/or virology. These observations are based on analysis of specimens obtained from the patient and submitted to the laboratory.

PROCEDURE

public static final ObservationCategory PROCEDURE

Observations generated by other procedures. This category includes observations resulting from interventional and non-interventional procedures excluding lab and imaging (e.g. cardiology catheterization, endoscopy, electrodiagnostics, etc.). Procedure results are typically generated by a clinician to provide more granular information about component observations made during a procedure, such as where a gastroenterologist reports the size of a polyp observed during a colonoscopy.

SURVEY

public static final ObservationCategory SURVEY

Assessment tool/survey instrument observations (e.g. Apgar Scores, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA))

EXAM

public static final ObservationCategory EXAM

Observations generated by physical exam findings including direct observations made by a clinician and use of simple instruments and the result of simple maneuvers performed directly on the patient's body.

THERAPY

public static final ObservationCategory THERAPY

Observations generated by non-interventional treatment protocols (e.g. occupational, physical, radiation, nutritional and medication therapy)

NULL

public static final ObservationCategory NULL

Method Details

values

public static ObservationCategory[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ObservationCategory valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
