Version

2.1.0

Date2019-03-20PublisherHealth Level 7Description

A code that provides additional detail about the means or technique used to ascertain the observation. *Examples:* Blood pressure measurement method: arterial puncture vs. sphygmomanometer (Riva-Rocci), sitting vs. supine position, etc. *OpenIssue:* Description copied from Concept Domain of same name. Must be verified. Note that the Domain has a full discussion about use of the attribute and constraining that is not appropriate for the code system description. Needs to be improved.

Description

Specializes

Coding

The child code is a more narrow version of the concept represented by the parent code. I.e. Every child concept is also a valid parent concept. Used to allow determination of subsumption. Must be transitive, irreflexive, antisymmetric.
