Topic: Interpretation with no code
Lauri Karppinen (Jan 03 2019 at 07:00):
Hi! Is it legal to use interpretation key with no code as a field just for text? We have text box for free text for interpretation in our software and I need some place in observation to store that. Like this:
"interpretation": {
"text": "text field of the Interpretation"
}
Edit:
Or could it be something like this:
"interpretation": [
{
"coding": [
{
"system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation",
}
],
"text": "text field of the Interpretation"
}
]
There is no suitable code/display for free text. Help/opinion would be very much appreciated :)
