Stream: implementers
Topic: Scoring Q choices when they are string.
Eric Haas (Apr 09 2018 at 22:23):
The Docs state:
"tabulating scores. To help with associating numeric values to coded answers, there are two extensions defined - one for defining the numeric weighting of a code defined in a value set - valueset-ordinalValue and the other for defining a code that can appear within a Coding itself - iso21090-CO-value."
-
but what if you want a plumb simple list of strings as choices - should the extension's context allow any Q.item.option[x]?
-
Also I don't understand the difference between the two extensions. Do they accomplish the same thing? Is one more commonly implemented?

I don't actually know why we have two extensions. And I'd expect support for one in CodeSystem too - that's where it would be defined. So far, no one's asked for an ordinal value for strings

That would be useful for sorting, but I haven't done it.
Eric Haas (Apr 11 2018 at 01:34):
sorting? I meant a choice of strings ( instead of codings) say.... 'blue' = score 1, and 'red' = score 2. then at the end you tabulate the score. which leads to my next question here
