The openEHR Data Types Reference Model Based on the Revision 1.7.3 Written in OWL by Isabel Román November 2003
TERMINO MAPEADO
TERM MAPPING
Used for adding classification terms, or mapping into equivalents in other terminologies
Represents a coded term mapped to a DV_TEXT. and the relative match of the target term with respect to the maped item.
The component Annotation Life Cycle was intended to permit architectural components to include a reference to this aspect of state.
ESTADO
STATE
The element class includes an attribute LifeCycle to indicate the lifecycle of an instruction or action, with permitted values taken from the ENV13606-2 Domain Termlist Component Annotation of the same name
For representing state values which obey a defined state machine, such as a variable representing the states of an instruction or care process
Is expressed as a string but its values are driven by archetype-defined state machines. This provides a powerful way of capturing stateful complex processes in simple data
RAZON DE CANTIDADES
Used for recording specified administration dosages (e.g. 5mg/100ml), drug amounts based on body weight (e.g. 1 tabledt/10kg), and titers (e.g. 1:128) Note that the units representation in sigle QUANTITYs caters for any ratio in which the units are expressible in unitary form. So a QUANTITY_RATIO of 2g/250ml could be expressed as a QUANTITY of 8g/l
Should not be used to represent thigs like blood pressure which are often written using a '/' character, giving the misleading impression that the item is a ratio, when in fact it is a structured value.
QUANTITY RATIO
Used ofr recording the duration of something in the real world, particularly when there is a need: to represent the duration in customary format (days, hours, minutes...) if it will be used in computational operations with date/time quantities
DURATION
Represents a period of time with respect to a notional point in time, which is not specified. A sign my be used to indicate the duration is 'backwards' in time rather than forwards
Durations cannot be used to represent points in time, or intervals of time
Time Interval or Date Range or text description
DURACION
A fully coordinated term from a terminology service
PARRAFO
PARAGRAPH
is the standrad way for constructing longer text items in summaries, reports and so on
A logical composite text value consisting of a series of DV_TEXTs, i.e. plain text potentially with simple formatting, to form a larger tract of prose, which may be interpreted for display purposes as a pargraph.
CUSTOMARY QUANTITY
Abstract parent class of quantity types which are expressed in a form other than the estandrad scientific
CANTIDAD PERSONALIZADA
PARSABLE
MANEJABLE
Used ofr representing values which are formal textural representations (e.g. guidelines)
Encapsulated data expressed as a parsable STRING. The internal model of the data item is not described in the openEHR model in common with other encapsulated types, but in this case, the form of the data is assumed to be plaintext, rather than compressed or other types or large binary data
TEXT
A plain text item, which may contain any amount of legal characters arranged as e.g. words, sentences etc. Any DV_TEXT may be coded by adding mappings to it
Roughly equivalent to CWE (coded with extensions)-e.e. tesxt value which may optionally be coded.
the Text data value class can contain either plain text or a term taken from a terminology system
TEXTO
Fragments of text, whether coded or not are used on their own as values, or to make up larger gtracts of text which may be marked up in some way, eventually going to make up paragraphs.
CODED TEXT
COAS::CodedElement,, LooselyCodedElement
A text item whose value must be a rubric drawn from a controlled terminology, the key of which is the definition attribute
TEXTO CODIFICADO
Can be used in place of DV_TEXT, effectively allowing the type DV_TEXT to mean a text item, which may optionally be coded.
VALOR DE DATO
DATA_VALUE
Serves as a common ancestor of all data value types in openEHR models
The Data_Item class in CEN is a mixture of DATA_VALUE and ELEMENT in openEHR
TERMINO COORDINADO
COORDINATED TERM
Used for approximate birth dates, dates of death, etc...
Represents a partially known date. All partial dates have an unknown day, by definition, else they would be represented as normal dates. The mont_known flag indicates whether the month is also unknown
FECHA PARCIAL
PARTIAL DATE
TIME SPECIFICATION
An abstract class of which all timing specifications are specialisations. Specifies points in time, possibly linked to the calendar, or a real world repeating event, suc as "breakfast"
ESPECIFICACION DE HORA
Abstract class defining the concept of true quantified values, e.e. values which are not only ordered, but whose magnitude is meaningful as well. The defining characteristic of the type is the attribute property - what is being quantified, and that the difference operation is defined.
unit exists as ann attribute of the measurement data value class, but there is no representation of accuracy
Attributes in the Quantity class for unit and accuracy
CUANTIFICADO
QUANTIFIED
EHR_URI
FECHA
TOCD choice Quantifiable Observation Data Item
Represents an absolute point in time, as measured on the Gregorian calendar, and specified only to the day
Used ofr recording dates in real world time
DATE
INTERVAL DATE
INTERVALO DE FECHA
INTERVALO DE FECHA Y HORA
INTERVAL DATE TIME
ESPECIFICACION GENERAL DE TIEMPO
GENERAL TIME SPECIFICATION
Specifies points in time in a general syntax. Based on the HL7v3 GTS data type
The Duration data value class provides for the specification of time intervals, and also for a simple string description of the priodicity
Represents a partially known time. All partial time have an unknown second, by definition, else they would be reprsented as normal times. The minute_known flag indictes whether the minute is also unknown.
PARTIAL TIME
HORA PARCIAL
Abcstract class defining the concept of true quantified values. Values which are not only ordered, but whose magnitude is meaningful as well. Units were inspired by the Unified Code for Units of Measure
Abstract class defining the common meta-data of all types of encapsulated data
ENCAPSULADOS
ENCAPSULATED
Enables external resources to be referenced from within the content of the EHR. A number of functions return the logical subparts of the URI string
URI
A reference to an object which conforms to the Universal Resource Identifier (URI) standarad, as defined by W3C RFC 2936
Not used for amounts of physical entities (which all have units)
Used for countable types such as pregnancies and steps (taken by a physiotherapy patient), number of cigarettes smoded in a day
DATE TIME
Represents an aboslute point in time, specified to the second. In canonical form
Used for recording a precise point in real world time
FECHA Y HORA
Used in therapeutic prescriptions, expressed as INSTRUCTIONS in the openEHR
Specifies periodic points in time, linked to the calendar (phase-linked), or a real world event, such as 'breakfast'. Based on the HL7v3 data types PIVL<T> and EIVL<T>
PERIODIC TIME SPECIFICATION
ESPECIFICACION DE INSTANTES PERIODICOS
The Duration data value class privdes for the specification of time intervals, and also for a simple string description of the periodicity
Should not be used as a replacement for naively modelled enumerated types such as male/female etc... Such values whould be coded, and in any case the enumeration often has more than two values.
A special use of the Numeric class is defined to represent the Boolean data type, limiting the permitted values to zero or one.
Items which are truly boolean data, such as true/false of yes/no answers
LOGICO
For such data, it is important to devise the meanings (usually questions in subjective data) carefully, so that the only allowed results are in fact true or false
BOOLEAN
The Bulky Data class provides for the representation and storage of all binary data classified by its MIME type
A specialisation of DV_ENCAPSULATED for audiviosual and biosignal types. Includes further metadata relating to multimedia types which are not applicalbe ot other subtypes of DV_ENCAPSULATED
MULTIMEDIA
Used ofr recording real world times, rather than scientically measured fine amounts of time
Represents an aboslute point in time from an origin usually interpreted as meaning the start of the cuyrrent day, specified to the second
TIME
HORA
HORA MUNDIAL
Used for recording dates and/or times in real world time
Abstract concept of time on the real world timeline. All dates assumed to be in the Gregorian calendar
WORLD TIME
Models rankings and scores, e.g. pain, Apgar values, etc
ORDINAL
for recording any clinical datum which is customarily recorded using symbolic values. e.g. the results on a urinalysis strip ^neg, trace, +, ++,++++ are used for leucocytes, protein, nitrites etc...
Can be used for time durations, where it is more convenient to treat these as simply a number of seconds rather than days, months, years.
CANTIDAD
Concrete type representing scientific quantities, i.e. quentities expressed as a single value and a single, optional units.
Quantifiable Data Item; Measurement data value class
QUANTITY
ORDERED
Data value types which are to be used as limits in the DV_INTERVAL_T class must inherit from this class, and implement the function is_strictly_comparable_to to ensure that instances compare meaningfully.
Abstract class defining the concept of ordered values, which includes ordinals as well as true quantities. It defines the functions less_tan and is_strictly_comparable_to, the latter of which must evaluate to True for isntances being compared with the less_than function, or used as limits in the DV_INTERVAL_T
VALORES DE ORDEN
Defines a named range to be associate with any ORDERED datum Each such range is particular to the patient and context, and any other factor which affects ranges
REFERENCE RANGE
May be used to represent normal, therapeutic, dangerous, critical etc ranges
RANGO DE REFERENCIA
INTERVALO DE T
INTERVAL T
QuantityRange+ability to specify if the range is incusive or exclusive separately of the maximun and minimum values
Generic class defining an interval of a comparable type. an interval is a contiguous subrange of a comparable base type
