Does anybody know why components in an Observation have no effective time? Is the assumption that only a panel/battery can have one?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 15 2016 at 09:31):
components are part of the main observation; they cannot have a different time
Alexander Henket (Sep 15 2016 at 12:02):
Suppose the main observation is a panel/battery then would the components of the panel not be separate tests each carrying their own effective time?
Alexander Henket (Sep 15 2016 at 12:04):
That is at least how our analysis model tells me it is. Based on STU3 I will now instruct people to take the low/highest test time and use those as Observation.effectivePeriod, and then add an extension under Observation.component to convey the actual time per test.

panels should not be in components.
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 15 2016 at 13:45):
Components are for things like APGAR or micro assessments where you're capturing both drug and sensitivity - knowing one value without the others is useless. For a panel like a CBC, each of the parts of the panel would be a separate related observation, not a component.
