Retired| Description |
The simple observation entry is meant to be an abstract representation of many of the observations used in this specification. It can be made concrete by the specification of a few additional constraints, namely the vocabulary used for codes, and the value representation. A simple observation may also inherit constraints from other specifications (e.g., ASTM/HL7 Continuity of Care Document). |

| hl7:code | CD | 1 … 1 | R | Observations shall have a code describing what was measured. The code system used is determined by the vocabulary constraints on the types of measurements that might be recorded in a section. Content modules that are derived from the Simple Observation content module may restrict the code system and code values used for the observation. | Entrtion | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| hl7:text | ED | 1 … 1 | M | Each observation measurement entry may contain a <text> element providing the free text that provides the same information as the observation within the narrative portion of the document with a <text> element. For CDA based uses of Simple Observations, this element SHALL be present, and SHALL contain a <reference> element that points to the related string in the narrative portion of the document. For HL7 Version 3 based uses, the <text> element MAY be included. | Entrtion | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| hl7:effectiveTime | IVL_TS | 1 … 1 | R | The <effectiveTime> element shall be present in standalone observations , and shall record the date and time when the measurement was taken. This element should be precise to the day. If the date and time is unknown, this element should record that using the nullFlavor attribute. | Entrtion | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
