Topic: Valid datatype for LOINC answers
Monique van Berkum (Jun 08 2021 at 19:12):
Answers in LOINC are not necessarily code. Integer, string, and decimal should be allowed datatypes based on the datatype specified in LOINC. image.png image.png

You'd get better information if you asked this question in #IG creation
Rob Hausam (Jun 08 2021 at 19:29):
Might also need to try on #implementers or check with FHIR-I if it's a core Q/QR resource issue.
Monique van Berkum (Jun 08 2021 at 19:39):
Yes thank you. Will ask on IG Creation stream
Brian Postlethwaite (Jun 09 2021 at 23:54):
Or the #questionnaire stream :smile:

And I suspect that the question item type was defined as choice which is what would be causing that issue.
If you want an integer, then that should be the item type.
Monique van Berkum (Jun 15 2021 at 19:27):
Thank you for the last suggestion. However, the item types were defined as integer, string and decimal.

Pretty clear that this is a validator issue. It's presuming that answers are always going to be codes, which isn't necessarily the case.
Grahame Grieve (Jun 24 2021 at 20:45):
well, how do I reproduce this?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 24 2021 at 20:46):
It's manifesting in the SDOH IG. http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-sdoh-clinicalcare/
