Topic: Blood pressure Goal
Eneimi Allwell-Brown (Feb 18 2018 at 12:06):
Does anyone have any example or sugestion how I could set a Goal.target.detail[x] for a blood pressure goal? The Observation.component element allows for slicing to create systolic and diastolic components, but how would I do similar for a blood pressure goal target (I suppose slicing Goal.target.detail[x] would be a violation)?

You could slice it, but you'd still be constrained to a single repetition. You might consider submitting a change proposal to address this.
Eneimi Allwell-Brown (Feb 18 2018 at 18:41):
Thanks @Lloyd McKenzie . I'll add a change request. I don't quite understand what you mean by being constrained to a single repetition.
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 18 2018 at 21:17):
The cardinality on Goal.target is 0..1. Even if you sliced it, you couldn't have more than a single repetition in an instance.

Aha, gotcha! Thanks again.
Samm Anderegg (Apr 19 2018 at 14:55):
@Lloyd McKenzie Is it possible to add a Goal.target.detailRatio property? I'm new...not sure how change requests are submitted, would be happy to submit one.

There's a link at the bottom every page in the spec called "propose a change". You'll need to do a one-time registration, but once that's done, you're free to propose as many changes as you like :)

Hi @Eneimi Allwell-Brown , which way did you follow to overcome this issue? Is there any update about the change request?

Hi, I haven't been able to log a change request. Tried a couple of times but I never got through, maybe I'm doing it wrong. Do you know what steps to take to do that?
I settled for ordinals using the coding datatype + ordinal extension (decimal datatype) - 0,Absent and 1,Present. Seems like overkill compared to a straightforward boolean.

There is a link as "Propose a change" at the bottom of the page (http://hl7.org/fhir/goal.html). You can submit the request from there. Anyway, I think I will go on by splitting it to separate goals (systolic blood pressure goal and diastolic blood pressure goal instead of a single blood pressure goal). Thanks for information!

I don't recall seeing a tracker get logged, so I took the liberty to create GF#17572 to review the cardinality of Goal.target.detail
