       an Apgar score, the observations from which the measure is derived). If a value is present,
       the datatype for this element should be determined by Observation.code. This element has
       a variable name depending on the type as follows: valueQuantity, valueCodeableConcept,
       valueString, valueRange, valueRatio, valueSampledData, valueAttachment, valueTime, valueDateTime,
       or valuePeriod. (The name format is &quot;'value' + the type name&quot; with a capital
       on the first letter of the type).   If the data element is usually coded or if the type
       associated with the Observation.value defines a coded value, use CodeableConcept instead
       of string datatype even if the value is uncoded text.  A value set is bound to the ValueCodeableConc
      ept element.  For boolean values use valueCodeableConcept and select codes from [HL7 Version
       2 Table 0136](v2/0136/index.html). These &quot;yes/no&quot; concepts can be mapped to
       the display name &quot;true/false&quot; or other mutually exclusive terms that may be
