Logical Model: DV_ABSOLUTE_QUANTITY - Detailed Descriptions

Page standards status: Informative Maturity Level: 3

Definitions for the DV-ABSOLUTE-QUANTITY logical model.

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere

0. DV_ABSOLUTE_QUANTITY
Definition

Quantitified type representing scientific quantities, i.e. quantities expressed as a magnitude and units. Units are expressed in the UCUM syntax (Unified Code for Units of Measure (UCUM), by Gunther Schadow and Clement J. McDonald of The Regenstrief Institute) (case-sensitive form) by default, or another system if units_system is set.

Can also be used for time durations, where it is more convenient to treat these as simply a number of seconds rather than days, months, years (in the latter case, DV_DURATION may be used).


Base definition for all types defined in FHIR type system.

Comments

For scores that include only Integers, DV_QUANTIFIED may also be used, but DV_ORDINAL should be supported to accommodate existing data instances of that type.
