Body temperature method measurement and device reference set

Body Temperature Measurement Method and Device RefsetTBDTBD

Body temperature is taken and the user records measurement method or instrument used to evaluate the temperature. It combines method and device values because they often overlap in EHR documentation systems.
Body Temperature Measurement Site Refset20180824August, 24th 2018
11This reference set contains values used to result the body location where a body temperature was measured, referencing the SNOMED Code 1520000000000 "Body temperature measurement site (observable entity)" and the LOINC term "Body temperature measurement site", 8327-9.
Clock Face Position RefsetTBDTBD

This reference set is used to describe the clock face position the relative direction of an clinical finding described using the analogy of a 12-hour clock. One imagines a clock face lying either upright or flat in front of oneself, and identifies the twelve hour markings with the directions in which they point.

Clinical Observation Status RefsetTBDTBD

The purpose of the Clinical Observation Status reference set is to report the status of observation result values. It is a value set used to result FHIR observation.status.code.
