Hello, It might seem a very basic question, but I couldn't find an appropriate answer anywhere. Which is the best way to model a single Real number in openEHR? For example, a result of a score.
I have found two possible options: - Use a DV_QUANTITY, with the "Qualified Real" property, that sets the units to an empty String. This approach is used in the "Harris Hip Score" archetype (http://www.openehr.org/ckm/#showArchetype_1013.1.1873) - Use a DV_PROPORTION, with the PROPORTION_KIND set to Unitary. This approach is used in the "Waist and hip circumference" archetype ( http://www.openehr.org/ckm/#showArchetype_1013.1.332) In both cases, it seems we are forcing to use a data type that does not really fit for purpose. Why don't we have something similar as the DV_COUNT, but representing a real number and not an integer? Something equivalent to the REAL data type in ISO 21090 David -- David Moner Cano Grupo de Inform?tica Biom?dica - IBIME Instituto ITACA http://www.ibime.upv.es http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmoner Universidad Polit?cnica de Valencia (UPV) Camino de Vera, s/n, Edificio G-8, Acceso B, 3? planta Valencia - 46022 (Espa?a) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
