Laboratory results are typically generated by laboratories providing analytic services in areas such as chemistry, hematology, serology, histology, cytology, anatomic pathology (including digital pathology), microbiology, and/or virology. These observations are based on analysis of specimens obtained from the patient and submitted to the laboratory.</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"http://terminology.hl7.org/6.1.0/CodeSystem-observation-category.html#observation-category-exam\">exam</a></td><td>Exam</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"http://terminology.hl7.org/6.1.0/CodeSystem-observation-category.html#observation-category-therapy\">therapy</a></td><td>Therapy</td><td>Observations generated by non-interventional treatment protocols (e.g. occupational, physical, radiation, nutritional and medication therapy)</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"http://terminology.hl7.org/6.1.0/CodeSystem-observation-category.html#observation-category-imaging\">imaging</a></td><td>Imaging</td><td>Observations generated by imaging. The scope includes observations regarding plain x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography, echocardiography, and nuclear medicine.</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"http://terminology.hl7.org/6.1.0/CodeSystem-observation-category.html#observation-category-procedure\">procedure</a></td><td>Procedure</td><td>Observations generated by other procedures.  This category includes observations resulting from interventional and non-interventional procedures excluding laboratory 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.  An example would be when a gastroenterologist reports the size of a polyp observed during a colonoscopy.</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"http://terminology.hl7.org/6.1.0/CodeSystem-observation-category.html#observation-category-vital-signs\">vital-signs</a></td><td>Vital Signs</td><td>Clinical observations measure the body's basic functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, height, weight, body mass index, head circumference, pulse oximetry, temperature, and body surface area.</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"http://terminology.hl7.org/6.1.0/CodeSystem-observation-category.html#observation-category-activity\">activity</a></td><td>Activity</td><td>Observations that measure or record any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness.  Not under direct supervision of practitioner such as a physical therapist. (e.g., laps swum, steps, sleep data)</td></tr></table></li></ul></div>"
