723. Concepts vs. Modifiers
723. Concepts vs. Modifiers
Modifiers allow to express that a fact is not a statement about =
a patient, but about another fact. They supplement the expressibility of CO=
NCEPTs. The usage of modifiers is advices when:
- Statements are an extension to a repeatable statement =
(location, cuff size for blood pressure)
- Modifiers can be reused in many other parts of the ont=
ology (degree of severity, level of expertise, measurement methods). One ex=
ample is to differ between primary and secondary diagnose by 2 modifiers th=
at are inherited to the whole diagnosis tree.
- Modifiers are used already, e.g. in a biomaterial setting: if modi=
fiers are used for tracking number, kind of material, drawn_by, and so on, one would of course model pathogen=
as a modifier as well.
