Topic: Blood pressure in Goal
Mirjam Baltus (Jun 02 2017 at 09:05):
If a practitioner wants to target a goal for blood pressure of 140/90 for a dueDate X, how can I represent that in a Goal resource?
One of the listed possibilities for Goal.target.measure is to use it to track blood pressure, but you can only supply 1 Goal.target.detail[x] and the blood pressure has got 2 components. Do I need to create 2 goals, 1 for each component, or is there a more elegant solution?

Hi @Mirjam Baltus, how about constraining Goal.target.detail[x] to detailRange, so you can express low and high?
Mirjam Baltus (Jun 02 2017 at 11:03):
@Michel Rutten: I had been thinking about that, but it doesn't seem a really clean solution when you interpret the low Range as value of one component and the high as value of another.

I think you need two goals
Pascal Pfiffner (Jun 02 2017 at 16:22):
Since one doesn't really target the diastole, how about just the systole as target.detailQuantity but still have 140/90 in the description?

@Lloyd McKenzie: thank you, that's what I thought, but didn't really like. I'll investigate if @Pascal Pfiffner's option is okay for the client, since I think you're right about the real target, Pascal. Thanks!
