when mapping cda observation value to fhir, how to tell whether PQ type refers to a number or string or boolean? for example, theis CDA value xml element has data type PQ, but no additional info about the actual data type. Do I miss anything?
<value xsi:type="PQ" value="13.2" unit="g/dL" />

PQ is the datatype - it is a Physical Quantity and has a decimal value and a coded units. It maps to FHIR Quantity.
