DataElementStringency

public enum DataElementStringency: String

Indicates the degree of precision of the data element definition.

URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/dataelement-stringency ValueSet: http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/dataelement-stringency

  • The data element is sufficiently well-constrained that multiple pieces of data captured according to the constraints of the data element will be comparable (though in some cases, a degree of automated conversion/normalization may be required).

    Declaration

    Swift

    case comparable = "comparable"

  • The data element is fully specified down to a single value set, single unit of measure, single data type, etc. Multiple pieces of data associated with this data element are fully comparable.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case fullySpecified = "fully-specified"

  • The data element allows multiple units of measure having equivalent meaning; e.g. cc (cubic centimeter) and mL (milliliter).

    Declaration

    Swift

    case equivalent = "equivalent"

  • The data element allows multiple units of measure that are convertable between each other (e.g. inches and centimeters) and/or allows data to be captured in multiple value sets for which a known mapping exists allowing conversion of meaning.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case convertable = "convertable"

  • A convertable data element where unit conversions are different only by a power of 10; e.g. g, mg, kg.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case scaleable = "scaleable"

  • The data element is unconstrained in units, choice of data types and/or choice of vocabulary such that automated comparison of data captured using the data element is not possible.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case flexible = "flexible"
