Topic: Observation.referenceRange with code
Alexander Henket (Sep 17 2019 at 12:43):
Suppose I want to say "reference value (type=normal) for protein in blood is NEG (as code)" or "reference value (type=normal) for HIV infection is NEG (as code)", it looks like that leads to Observation.referenceRange.text rather than something like Observation.referenceRange.code.
Did I miss something? Would this deserve a ticket for discussion?

reference value (type=normal) for protein in blood is NEG (as code)
Several options here of increasing complexity
- use text = ''NEG" ...or...
- You can bind the text element to codes = "NEG"
- Extension on text for codeableConcept value = "NEG"
Repeat RefRange element for each concept and type
- Extension on text for referencing ValueSets for a set of concepts for a refrange type, age etc (in this case for type including the value = "NEG") ( Is this any better than repeating the RefRange element? )
I'm not sure what your tracker would be about?

@Eric Haas Thanks for the suggestions. I have created the tracker for discussion GF#24861. I think it is clear in what it proposes, but if not I can elaborate
