- Archetypes
- Text elements for narrative text. Set to DV_TEXT with no constraints. Example: "Description" elements in many archetypes.
- Text element for coding where where the coded content can be anything. Set to DV_TEXT with no constraints, and coding with terminology mentioned in comment. Example: Problem/diagnosis name.
- Text element for coding where there's a set value set that will never change. Set to DV_CODED_TEXT with an internal value set. Example: Laterality (left/right).
- Text element for coding where we have a fair idea about what the value set could be, but there could be local use cases or mandated national code sets. Set to a choice of DV_TEXT with no constraints OR DV_CODED_TEXT with an internal value set. Example: "Overall test status" in OBSERVATION.laboratory_test_result.
- In specialisations or templates where a local value set is needed, the DV_CODED_TEXT with an internal value set is removed, and the DV_TEXT is specialised to DV_CODED_TEXT and an external terminology value set added.
Text element for a choice of coding (preferred) but where we know that free text may have to be entered e.g Medication name - coding definitely preferred but there are exceptions where the medication name is not yet coded or cannot be coded e.g experimental drugs, foreign products not on national dictionary. Use a DV_TEXT/DV_CODED_TEXT choice.
