I've just done the implementation of the value set http://build.fhir.org/valueset-age-units.html in my terminology server
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 21:12):
I've come up with a rather counter-intuitive result: units such as /U and ug/kg/min are included in the value set
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 21:12):
as far as I can reason, these are indeed units that have a canonical unit of time.... but I
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 21:12):
don't think we want them in the value set
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 21:13):
regex that the code cannot have / in it?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 09 2017 at 21:19):
The original proposal had suggested enumerations. Would those work?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 21:32):
well, maybe
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 21:37):
ps
ns
us
ms
s
min
h
d
wk
mo
a
ks
24.h
a_g
a_j
a_t
mo_g
mo_j
mo_s
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 21:37):
which of these then?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 09 2017 at 22:02):
I think we'd said the max value set was the full set of metric prefixes from yocto to yotta on seconds plus the various h/d/wk/mo/a and their variants. No reason to support 24.h.
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 09 2017 at 22:02):
Oh and min of course
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 22:03):
you'd report age in less than minutes?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 22:03):
really?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 22:03):
and greater than year?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 22:03):
this person is 0.88 centi-years old
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 09 2017 at 22:04):
Oh, sorry. I was thinking we were doing time. No, there was a more constrained list in the proposal for age
Grahame Grieve (Mar 09 2017 at 22:09):
I can't find the task
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 09 2017 at 22:40):

age in min of a newborn might make sense, or somethign non-human
