HS.SDA3.Observation

serial class HS.SDA3.Observation extends HS.SDA3.SuperClass

Note that Observations appear in three places in the SDA3 data model:
as a list property of Container, as a list property of Vaccination
and as a list property of SocialDeterminant.

Observations under the Container are stored as their own streamlets.
Observations that are properties of a Vaccination are stored as part of the
Vaccination streamlet. Cases where the HL7 or Streamlet processing is
different for independent Observations versus Vaccination Observations are
noted in these annotations. At present Vaccination Observations are not
stored in the Viewer Cache, so any mention of the Viewer Cache here refers
to independent Observations only. Observations that are properties of a
Social Determinant are stored as part of the Social Determinant streamlet.

Also note that the way some properties are parsed from HL7 will depend on
the value of the ObservationCompatibilityMode setting of the HL7 Inbound
Process operation of the Edge production (referred to here as Compatibility
Mode on or off).
HS.SDA3.Observation corresponds to the CDA Vital Signs section. An Observation
is exported to the Vital Signs section only when the ObservationCode indicates
a valid LOINC Vital Sign code.

Streamlet cache:
Note that units are not used when matching Observation Streamlets, so two
SDA3 Observations with the same ObservationTime and Observation.Code and
SDACodingStandard, and different ObservationValueUnits *will* match, and
the existing value for ObservationValueUnits will be overridden.
Viewer cache:
Note that units *are* used for code table matching in the Viewer Cache, so
two CodeTableDetail Observations with the same Code, Description, and
SDACodingStandard but different ObservationValueUnits *will not* match.

property ObservationTime as HS.SDA3.TimeStamp;
Time of the observation

Streamlet cache:
In the OnBeforeMatch method of the Observation Streamlet class, if
ObservationTime is null, it is defaulted to EnteredOn, then to the current
date/time.
In the OnBeforeMatch method of the Vaccination Streamlet class, if
ObservationTime is null, it is defaulted to the last non-null
ObservationTime in the list (that was originally non-null, not defaulted),
then to the EnteredOn of the current Observation, then to the current
date/time.

property ObservationValue as %String (MAXLEN = 999);
Free-text value of the observation

HL7ToSDA3:
If Compatibility Mode is on and the OBX segment is for an independent (not
Vaccination) Observation, then ObservationValue is parsed from each
instance of OBX-5.1 (OBX-5 is repeating) concatenated together with ", ".
If Compatibility Mode is off or if the OBX segment is for a Vaccination
Observation, then the behavior depends on the value of OBX-2:
-If OBX-2 is CE, CWE, or CNE, ObservationValue is populated by OBX-5.2
(ObservationValue.Text) or OBX-5.9 (ObservationValue.OriginalText) if that
is null.
-If OBX-2 is TS or DT, then OBX-5 should contain an HL7 timestamp, and
ObservationValue will be parsed as that time in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ssZ
format.
-If OBX-2 is SN, then ObservationValue will be parsed as subfields 1
through 4 of OBX-5 all concatenated together. -If OBX-2 is none of these values, then ObservationValue is parsed from
each instance of OBX-5.1 (OBX-5 is repeating) concatenated together with
", ".

Property methods: ObservationValueDisplayToLogical(), ObservationValueGet(), ObservationValueIsValid(), ObservationValueLogicalToDisplay(), ObservationValueLogicalToOdbc(), ObservationValueNormalize(), ObservationValueSet()
property ObservationValueTime as HS.SDA3.TimeStamp;
HL7ToSDA3:
If Compatibility Mode is off or the OBX is for a Vaccination Observation,
and if OBX-2 (Value Type) is TS or DT, the ObservationValueTime is parsed
as OBX-5.1, converted to XML timestamp format. Otherwise HL7ToSDA3 does
not set this.

ObservationCodedValue or ObservationValueTime will be parsed as well. See
