Properties This code system defines the following properties for its concepts Name Code URI Type Description Specializes Specializes Coding The child code is a more narrow version of the concept represented by the parent code. I.e. Every child concept is also a valid parent concept. Used to allow determination of subsumption. Must be transitive, irreflexive, antisymmetric. Generalizes Generalizes Coding Inverse of Specializes.

Normally is not populated unless the state is retired. Concepts This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationCategory defines the following codes in a Is-A hierarchy: Code Display Definition internalId status exam Exam 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. 23740 active imaging Imaging Observations generated by imaging. The scope includes observations, plain x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography, echocardiography, nuclear medicine. 23736 active laboratory Laboratory The results of observations generated by laboratories. Laboratory results are typically generated by laboratories providing analytic services in areas such as chemistry, hematology, serology, histology, cytology, anatomic pathology, microbiology, and/or virology. These observations are based on analysis of specimens obtained from the patient and submitted to the laboratory. 23737 active procedure Procedure Observations generated by other procedures. This category includes observations resulting from interventional and non-interventional procedures excluding lab 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, such as where a gastroenterologist reports the size of a polyp observed during a colonoscopy. 23738 active social-history Social History The Social History Observations define the patient's occupational, personal (e.g. lifestyle), social, and environmental history and health risk factors, as well as administrative data such as marital status, race, ethnicity and religious affiliation. 23734 active survey Survey Assessment tool/survey instrument observations (e.g. Apgar Scores, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)) 23739 active therapy Therapy Observations generated by non-interventional treatment protocols (e.g. occupational, physical, radiation, nutritional and medication therapy) 23741 active vital-signs Vital Signs Clinical observations measure the body's basic functions such as such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, height, weight, body mass index, head circumference, pulse oximetry, temperature, and body surface area. 23735 active
