Topic: Recording various patient ages
Jean Duteau (Nov 12 2019 at 21:59):
I have a need to record a number of patient age's and I'm wondering whether this would be best done as extensions on Patient.birthDate or as Observations tied to the patient:
1) Age at Time of Vaccination
2) Age at Time of Onset of Reaction/Event
3) Gestation Period When Reaction/Event Was Observed in the Foetus
4) Patient Age Group

For #1 and #2 I'd go for extensions on the Immunization and Condition/AllergyIntolerance.reaction instead
For #3, I'd probably capture it as an Observation.component
For #4, not understanding what that means

#4 I would be thinking is evaluated, not stored. Otherwise the continual updates of the attribute would be annoying.
Jean Duteau (Nov 13 2019 at 18:46):
#4 is a categorization of the age - Neonate, Infant, Child, Adolescent, Adult, Elderly
Lloyd McKenzie (Nov 13 2019 at 18:54):
I'd use Observation for athat.
