Assumed value. assumed value is a value you set in the archetype. If no value (at all) occurs in the data for that item (e.g. patient position for BP measurement) but applications want a value, they can check the archetype (in fact it will be in the template) to see if there is an assumed value. If there is, it can be used. I don't believe it has had much use in archetyping over the years. Default value. the system or app should pre-populate the field with the default value. If no user value is supplied, it will remain the default. In this case, there is a value in the data. - thomas
