Hello all, We are capturing smoking status of a patient using Observation resource. In our Ipad screen we have fields like pack per day, Chewing Tobacco. In pack per day we want to count like 1PPW, 2PPW, 1/4PPW, 1/2PPW. I found loinc code for pack per day only. In chewing tobacco we are counting like 1/day, 2/day, 3/day, 4+day. So how to map. please help me. Thank you.

two options:

  • enumerated codes for each allowed value listed above and use valueCodeableConcept
  • use valueQuantity ( since you need to express 4+)
