Properties Defining the Structure of the Health Record

Most of these properties are available for most ISO-13606 Components, as listed, and define the basic structure of the health record and the relationship between Components.

Property	Where Used	Values	Description
Identifier	Folder Composition Section Entry Cluster Element Unit CodePoint	A string containing one or more of the characters a- z, A-Z, 0-9, -, _, . (dot). Must be unique for the sheet it appears on (i.e. across all components of that type)	Unique identifier for the ISO-13606 component. The id is used to create the structured representation of ISO 13606 through links between the identified components.
Extension	Entry Element	String of the form: (1) ComponentType: Identifier e.g. Element:Date (2) Entry:BloodPressure	The extension to the identifier. The purpose of the extension is to allow for specialization of identified components. The component Identifier is used to define the structure of the health record, but the Extension is used in calculations. This means that the same component (same extension) can be defined with different behaviours (specified for components with different Identifiers, referring to the same Extension) Selected from the existing identifiers of the relevant component type. If no Extension is specified for a component then it defaults to be the same as the Identifier
DisplayName	Folder Composition Section Entry Cluster Element Unit CodePoint	String	Label displayed to describe the component.
Information	Entry	Entry: 'entry name'	An Entry displayed in the information pane of the user interface that can contain additional information about the Entry to which it is associated. The Information Entry is displayed as Read Only but can include calculations. This could be used (for example) to display a different URL to external information, depending on the values of Elements in the associated Entry.
EntryRelationship	Entry of the EntryType Encounter SubstanceAdministration Supply	Entry: 'entry name'	Used to define additional information about an: Encounter - details of the booking SubstanceAdministration - details of the medication being prescribed Supply - details of the test being ordered
Subject	Entry	Entry: 'entry name'	The Composition that is the subject of an Act. Only selectable if the Entry has an EntryType of Act.
SortCriteria	Entry	Element: 'ElementId'	The Element used to sort a MultipleEntry or as the key to look up the value of a directory Entry.
CategorizationCriteria	Entry	Element: 'ElementId'	The Element used to categorize a MultipleEntry. The multiple entries are split into categories – one category for each value of the Element specified as the CategorizationCriteria. This Element must exist as content of the Entry.
Contents	Folder Composition Section Entry Cluster	List of Identifiers of ISO 13606 components.	List of sub-components contained within the component. Select from the drop-down that lists Identifiers from the relevant sheet(s). The Contents define the structure of ISO 13606 components.
Data	Element	A set of pairs of DisplayName (String) and Value (String)	The DisplayName (required) is used in selection and display to users; the Value (optional) is the data value recorded in the patient record (and used in calculations). If it is not specified, the Value defaults to the DisplayName.
Unit	Element	List of Identifiers of Unit components. String of the form: Unit: 'UnitId'	The units of measurement for a data value, selected from the defined Units.
