Also, as opposed to the trigger, there is no strong timely relation between the reason and the action. As well as providing various types of information about the rationale for a service, the RSON act relationship is routinely used between a SBADM act and an OBS act to describe the indication for use of a medication. Child concepts may be used to describe types of indication. <br/> Discussion: In prior releases, the code "SUGG" (suggests) was expressed as "an inversion of the reason link."

Target Acts may have independent existence, participate in multiple ActRelationships, and do not contribute to the meaning of the source. <br/> UsageNotes: This explicitly represents the conventional notion of aggregation.

This assumption is attributed to the same actor who asserts the manifestation. This is stronger and more specific than an inverted support link. For example, an agitated appearance can be asserted to be the manifestation (effect) of a known hyperthyroxia. This expresses that one might not have realized a symptom if it would not be a common manifestation of a known condition.

Otherwise a simpler relationship such as COMP would be appropriate. <br/> Rationale: There is a need when defining a clinical trial protocol to indicate that the protocol makes use of other protocol or treatment specifications. This is stronger than the assertion of "references". References may exist without usage, and in a clinical trial protocol is common to assert both: what other specifications does this trial use and what other specifications does it merely reference. <br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>Â Â REFV <a name="REFV"> </a> </td> <td>has reference values</td> <td> Reference ranges are essentially descriptors of a class of result values assumed to be "normal", "abnormal", or "critical."

For example, if the start and end of an ST elevation episode is visible in an EKG, this relation would indicate the ROI bounds the "ST elevation" observation -- the ROI defines the true beginning and ending of the episode. Conversely, if a ROI simply contains ST elevation, but it does not define the bounds (start and end) of the episode, the more general "has support" relation is used. Likewise, if a ROI on an image defines the true bounds of a "1st degree burn", the relation "has bounded support" is used; but if the ROI only points to the approximate area of the burn, the general "has support" relation is used. <br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>Â Â SUBJ <a name="SUBJ"> </a> </td> <td>has subject</td> <td> Relates an Act to its subject Act that the first Act is primarily concerned with. <br/> Examples <br/> The first Act may be a ControlAct manipulating the subject Act <br/> The first act is a region of interest (ROI) that defines a region within the subject Act. <br/> The first act is a reporting or notification Act, that echos the subject Act for a specific new purpose. <br/> Constraints <br/> An Act may have multiple subject acts. <br/> Rationale <br/> The ActRelationshipType "has subject" is similar to the ParticipationType "subject", Acts that primarily operate on physical subjects use the Participation, those Acts that primarily operate on other Acts (other information) use the ActRelationship. <br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>3</td> <td>Â Â Â Â QUALF <a name="QUALF"> </a> </td> <td>has qualifier</td> <td> The target observation qualifies (refines) the semantics of the source observation. <br/> UsageNote: This is not intended to replace concept refinement and qualification via vocabulary.

For example, sending a Document act as the result of an imaging observation, sending a list of Procedures and/or other acts as the result of a medical history observation. <br/> The valueNegationInd attribute on the source Act has the same semantics of "negated finding" when it applies to the target of a VALUE ActRelationship as it does to the value attribute. On the other hand, if the ActRelationship.negationInd is true for a VALUE ActRelationship, that means the specified observation does not have the indicated value but does not imply a negated finding.

For example if the trigger is "observation of pain" and pain is actually observed, and if that pain-observation caused the trigger to fire, that pain-observation can be linked with the trigger."/> </concept> <concept> <code value="OPTN"/> <display value="has option"/> <definition value="A relationship between a source Act that provides more detailed properties to the target Act. The source act thus is a specialization of the target act, but instead of mentioning all the inherited properties it only mentions new property bindings or refinements. The typical use case is to specify certain alternative variants of one kind of Act. The priorityNumber attribute is used to weigh refinements as preferred over other alternative refinements. Example: several routing options for a drug are specified as one SubstanceAdministration for the general treatment with attached refinements for the various routing options."/> </concept> <concept> <code value="RCHAL"/> <display value="re-challenge"/> <definition value="Description:A relationship in which the target act is carried out to determine whether an effect attributed to the source act can be recreated."/> </concept> <concept> <code value="REV"/> <display value="reverses"/> <definition value="A relationship between a source Act that seeks to reverse or undo the action of the prior target Act. Example: A posted financial transaction (e.g., a debit transaction) was applied in error and must be reversed (e.g., by a credit transaction) the credit transaction is identified as an undo (or reversal) of the prior target transaction. Constraints: the "completion track" mood of the target Act must be equally or more "actual" than the source act. I.e., when the target act is EVN the source act can be EVN, or any INT. If the target act is INT, the source act can be INT."/> </concept> <concept> <code value="RPLC"/> <display value="replaces"/> <definition value="A replacement source act replaces an existing target act.

The assumption of support is attributed to the same actor who asserts the observation.

For example, if the start and end of an ST elevation episode is visible in an EKG, this relation would indicate the ROI bounds the "ST elevation" observation -- the ROI defines the true beginning and ending of the episode. Conversely, if a ROI simply contains ST elevation, but it does not define the bounds (start and end) of the episode, the more general "has support" relation is used. Likewise, if a ROI on an image defines the true bounds of a "1st degree burn", the relation "has bounded support" is used; but if the ROI only points to the approximate area of the burn, the general "has support" relation is used."/> </concept> </concept> <concept> <code value="SUBJ"/> <display value="has subject"/> <definition value="Relates an Act to its subject Act that the first Act is primarily concerned with. Examples The first Act may be a ControlAct manipulating the subject Act The first act is a region of interest (ROI) that defines a region within the subject Act. The first act is a reporting or notification Act, that echos the subject Act for a specific new purpose. Constraints An Act may have multiple subject acts. Rationale The ActRelationshipType "has subject" is similar to the ParticipationType "subject", Acts that primarily operate on physical subjects use the Participation, those Acts that primarily operate on other Acts (other information) use the ActRelationship."/> <concept> <code value="QUALF"/> <display value="has qualifier"/> <definition value="The target observation qualifies (refines) the semantics of the source observation.

FormalConstraint: Source Act must be an Observation or specialization there-of. Source Act must not have the value attribute specified UsageNote: This relationship allows the result of an observation to be fully expressed as RIM acts as opposed to being embedded in the value attribute. For example, sending a Document act as the result of an imaging observation, sending a list of Procedures and/or other acts as the result of a medical history observation. The valueNegationInd attribute on the source Act has the same semantics of "negated finding" when it applies to the target of a VALUE ActRelationship as it does to the value attribute. On the other hand, if the ActRelationship.negationInd is true for a VALUE ActRelationship, that means the specified observation does not have the indicated value but does not imply a negated finding. Because the semantics are extremely close, it is recommended that Observation.valueNegationInd be used, not ActRelationship.negationInd.
