A code that provides additional detail about the means or technique used to ascertain the observation. *Examples:* Blood pressure measurement method: arterial puncture vs. sphygmomanometer (Riva-Rocci), sitting vs. supine position, etc. *OpenIssue:* Description copied from Concept Domain of same name. Must be verified. Note that the Domain has a full discussion about use of the attribute and constraining that is not appropriate for the code system description. Needs to be improved.

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.
Inverse of Specializes. Only included as a derived relationship.
The internal identifier for the concept in the HL7 Access database repository.
Designation of a concept's state. Normally is not populated unless the state is retired..
Indicates that the code is abstract - only intended to be used as a selector for other concepts
Provides codes for decision methods, initially for assessing the causality of events.
Reaching a decision through the application of an algorithm designed to weigh the different factors involved.
Reaching a decision through the use of Bayesian statistical analysis.
Reaching a decision by consideration of the totality of factors involved in order to reach a judgement.
A code that provides additional detail about the means or technique used to ascertain the genetic analysis. Example, PCR, Micro Array
**Description:** Polymerase Chain Reaction
Provides additional detail about the aggregation methods used to compute the aggregated values for an observation. This is an abstract code.
Average of non-null values in the referenced set of values
Count of non-null values in the referenced set of values
Largest of all non-null values in the referenced set of values.
The median of all non-null values in the referenced set of values.
