Welcome to the SW Reference Model Documentation
Element Description
BinaryData

The data itself.

BodyStructurePresentOrAbsent
ClinicalInputForm-PatientWoundSummary

Clinical input form for the initial observation of a wound or wounds on a patient. Includes only basic who/what/where aspects, not the complete assessment. Addresses the use case of a new patient being evaluated for the presence or absence of wounds.

ClinicalInputForm-WoundAssessment

Information about a wound at a single time, structured into logical groupings for input or display.

Cluster

A collection of statements and groups.

CodeableConcept

A concept represented by a code or codes.

CodedObservation
CodeSystem

A formal terminology system.

CodeSystemVersion

The version of the vocabulary being used, if applicable.

Coding

Coding of a concept, drawn from a controlled vocabulary. Includes the vocabulary and version, if applicable. May include a display text, and a descriptor expressing the intended interpretation of the code.

Comparator
Composition

A set of one or more statements or aggregations that should be interpreted together, exchanged as a collection, or may be aggregregated for the purpose of clinical input or output.

Condition

A disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms, and is not simply a direct result of physical injury

ConditionPresentOnAdmission

Whether the condition was present when the patient was admitted.

ContentType

Mime type of the content, with charset etc.

CreationTime

The point in time when the information was recorded in the system of record.

Denominator

The divisor of a fraction.

DisplayText

A string meant for reading by a person, for example, accompanying a code.

EmbeddedContent

Abstract class defining the common metadata of all types of encapsulated data, such as images.

ExchangeForm-WoundComprehensiveHistory

A collection of all information about a single wound, possibly including many observations taken by different people at different times. Everything in the aggregation relates to the same wound.

ExistentialFinding

An assertion of a physical or conceptual entity, relationship, situation, condition, or phenomenon present or absent.

Finding

A determination, such as an observation, assertion, opinion, fact, or judgment.

FindingMethod

The method used to determine the finding.

FindingStatus

Indicates whether the finding is preliminary, amended, final, etc.

Hash

A hash code of the data (sha-1, base64ed)

Language

A human language, spoken or written.

LowerBound

The lower limit on a range

Media

A file that contains audio, video, image, or similar content.

Numerator

The dividend of a fraction.

ObjectIdentifier

For later reference, an identifier for the object implied by the assertion, which allows the object to be tracked over time. For example, a wound number is used to track a specific wound's condition over time.

ObjectPresentOrAbsent

An assertion of a physical or conceptual entity, relationship, role, situation, condition, or phenomenon present or absent.

ObjectTypeCode

A code representing the type of entity, person, role, condition, or phenomenon that is being asserted to exist or not exist.

ObservableCode

A code describing the aspect or property of the subject being observed or measured. The ObservableCode is the 'question code' that pairs to the 'answer' contained in the ResultValue.

Observation

A statement that asserts the value of a property (observable) of the subject. The subject is often the patient, but may be a condition, a physical structure, or another clinical statement. For example, an interpretation is a finding about an observation.

Person
PhotographicImage

A photographic documentation of a condition, location, person, etc…

PresentOrAbsent

Whether the object is present or absent, exists or does not exist.

Qualifier

A condition or circumstance associated with an observation that affects the interpretation of the result value.

QuantitativeObservation
Quantity

A quantity with units, whose value may be bounded from above or below, as defined in FHIR

Range

An interval defined by a quantitative upper and/or lower bound. One of the two bounds must be specified, and the lower bound must be less than the upper bound. When Quantities are specified, the units of measure must be the same.

Ratio

A unit of measurement for the quotient of the amount of one entity to another.

RelevantTime

The time or time period that the statement addresses.

ResourceLocation

URI where data can be found.

ResourceSize

Number of bytes of content in the resource (if url provided)

ResultValue

The finding itself, such as the blood pressure value recorded.

SimpleQuantity

A quantity where the comparator is not used, as defined in FHIR

Statement

Base class for all types of clinical statements.

Subject

The person, place, event, condition, other statement that this statement addresses or belongs to. For an existential finding, the Subject is the 'owner' of the object said to exist or not exist. For example, the subject for a condition is a patient; the subject for wound size is a wound. Subjects are themselves statements.

TimeOfAbatement

The end, remission or resolution of a disease.

TimeOfOnset

The beginning or first appearance of a mental or physical disorder.

TimePeriod

A period of time defined by a start and end time, date, or year. If the start element is missing, the start of the period is not known. If the end element is missing, it means that the period is ongoing, or the start may be in the past, and the end date in the future, which means that period is expected/planned to end at the specified time. The end value includes any matching date/time. For example, the period 2011-05-23 to 2011-05-27 includes all the times from the start of the 23rd May through to the end of the 27th of May.

TimePeriodEnd

The time at which something is to end or did end. Boundary is considered inclusive.

TimePeriodStart

The time at which something is to take effect, start, or did start. Boundary is considered inclusive.

Title

A distinguishing word or group of words naming an item.

TypeCode

A code that describes the type of composition or section, such as a section or document type identifier.

Units

Code for the unit of measure of the quantity.

UpperBound

The upper limit on a quantitative value.

Wound

WoundPresentOrAbsent

The presence or absence of a wound. Observations and measurements associated with the same wound must link back to the same wound assertion. Therefore, the same wound should not be asserted more than once. The 'same-as' relationship can be used to link multiple assertions of the same wound, if necessary.
