4.3.2.4 HL7 v3 Value Set ActCode

This value set (http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/v3-ActCode) is defined as part of HL7 v3.

Summary

Defining URL:http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/v3-ActCode
Name:v3 Code System ActCode
Definition: A code specifying the particular kind of Act that the Act-instance represents within its class. Constraints: The kind of Act (e.g. physical examination, serum potassium, inpatient encounter, charge financial transaction, etc.) is specified with a code from one of several, typically external, coding systems. The coding system will depend on the class of Act, such as LOINC for observations, etc. Conceptually, the Act.code must be a specialization of the Act.classCode. This is why the structure of ActClass domain should be reflected in the superstructure of the ActCode domain and then individual codes or externally referenced vocabularies subordinated under these domains that reflect the ActClass structure. Act.classCode and Act.code are not modifiers of each other but the Act.code concept should really imply the Act.classCode concept. For a negative example, it is not appropriate to use an Act.code "potassium" together with and Act.classCode for "laboratory observation" to somehow mean "potassium laboratory observation" and then use the same Act.code for "potassium" together with Act.classCode for "medication" to mean "substitution of potassium". This mutually modifying use of Act.code and Act.classCode is not permitted.

  AAadjudicated with adjustmentsThe invoice element has been accepted for payment but one or more adjustment(s) have been made to one or more invoice element line items (component charges). Also includes the concept 'Adjudicate as zero' and items not covered under a particular Policy. Invoice element can be reversed (nullified). Recommend that the invoice element is saved for DUR (Drug Utilization Reporting).
    ANFadjudicated with adjustments and no financial impactThe invoice element has been accepted for payment but one or more adjustment(s) have been made to one or more invoice element line items (component charges) without changing the amount. Invoice element can be reversed (nullified). Recommend that the invoice element is saved for DUR (Drug Utilization Reporting).
  ARadjudicated as refusedThe invoice element has passed through the adjudication process but payment is refused due to one or more reasons. Includes items such as patient not covered, or invoice element is not constructed according to payer rules (e.g. 'invoice submitted too late'). If one invoice element line item in the invoice element structure is rejected, the remaining line items may not be adjudicated and the complete group is treated as rejected. A refused invoice element can be forwarded to the next payer (for Coordination of Benefits) or modified and resubmitted to refusing payer. Invoice element cannot be reversed (nullified) as there is nothing to reverse. Recommend that the invoice element is not saved for DUR (Drug Utilization Reporting).
  ASadjudicated as submittedThe invoice element was/will be paid exactly as submitted, without financial adjustment(s). If the dollar amount stays the same, but the billing codes have been amended or financial adjustments have been applied through the adjudication process, the invoice element is treated as "Adjudicated with Adjustment". If information items are included in the adjudication results that do not affect the monetary amounts paid, then this is still Adjudicated as Submitted (e.g. 'reached Plan Maximum on this Claim'). Invoice element can be reversed (nullified). Recommend that the invoice element is saved for DUR (Drug Utilization Reporting).

_ActBillingArrangementCodeActBillingArrangementCodeThe type of provision(s) made for reimbursing for the deliver of healthcare services and/or goods provided by a Provider, over a specified period.
  BLKblock fundingA billing arrangement where a Provider charges a lump sum to provide a prescribed group (volume) of services to a single patient which occur over a period of time. Services included in the block may vary. This billing arrangement is also known as Program of Care for some specific Payors and Program Fees for other Payors.
  CAPcapitation fundingA billing arrangement where the payment made to a Provider is determined by analyzing one or more demographic attributes about the persons/patients who are enrolled with the Provider (in their practice).
  CONTFcontract fundingA billing arrangement where a Provider charges a lump sum to provide a particular volume of one or more interventions/procedures or groups of interventions/procedures.
  FINBILLfinancialA billing arrangement where a Provider charges for non-clinical items. This includes interest in arrears, mileage, etc. Clinical content is not included in Invoices submitted with this type of billing arrangement.
  ROSTroster fundingA billing arrangement where funding is based on a list of individuals registered as patients of the Provider.
  SESSsessional fundingA billing arrangement where a Provider charges a sum to provide a group (volume) of interventions/procedures to one or more patients within a defined period of time, typically on the same date. Interventions/procedures included in the session may vary.
  FFSfee for serviceA billing arrangement where a Provider charges a separate fee for each intervention/procedure/event or product. Fee for Service is used when an individual intervention/procedure/event is used for billing purposes. In other words, fees are associated with the intervention/procedure/event. For example, a specific CCI (Canadian Classification of Interventions) code has an associated fee and is used for billing purposes.
    FFPSfirst fill, part fill, partial strengthA first fill where the quantity supplied is less than one full repetition of the ordered amount. (e.g. If the order was 90 tablets, 3 refills, a partial fill might be for only 30 tablets.) and also where the strength supplied is less than the ordered strength (e.g. 10mg for an order of 50mg where a subsequent fill will dispense 40mg tablets)
    FFCSfirst fill complete, partial strengthA first fill where the quantity supplied is equal to one full repetition of the ordered amount. (e.g. If the order was 90 tablets, 3 refills, a complete fill would be for the full 90 tablets) and also where the strength supplied is less than the ordered strength (e.g. 10mg for an order of 50mg where a subsequent fill will dispense 40mg tablets).
    TFStrial fill partial strengthA fill where a small portion is provided to allow for determination of the therapy effectiveness and patient tolerance and also where the strength supplied is less than the ordered strength (e.g. 10mg for an order of 50mg where a subsequent fill will dispense 40mg tablets).
_ActBoundedROICodeActBoundedROICodeType of bounded ROI.
  ROIFSfully specified ROIA fully specified bounded Region of Interest (ROI) delineates a ROI in which only those dimensions participate that are specified by boundary criteria, whereas all other dimensions are excluded. For example a ROI to mark an episode of "ST elevation" in a subset of the EKG leads V2, V3, and V4 would include 4 boundaries, one each for time, V2, V3, and V4.
  ROIPSpartially specified ROIA partially specified bounded Region of Interest (ROI) specifies a ROI in which at least all values in the dimensions specified by the boundary criteria participate. For example, if an episode of ventricular fibrillations (VFib) is observed, it usually doesn't make sense to exclude any EKG leads from the observation and the partially specified ROI would contain only one boundary for time indicating the time interval where VFib was observed.

_ActContainerRegistrationCodeActContainerRegistrationCodeConstrains the ActCode to the domain of Container Registration
  IDIdentifiedUsed by one system to inform another that it has received a container.
  IPIn PositionUsed by one system to inform another that the container is in position for specimen transfer (e.g., container removal from track, pipetting, etc.).
  LLeft EquipmentUsed by one system to inform another that the container has been released from that system.
  MMissingUsed by one system to inform another that the container did not arrive at its next expected location.
  OIn ProcessUsed by one system to inform another that the specific container is being processed by the equipment. It is useful as a response to a query about Container Status, when the specific step of the process is not relevant.
  RProcess CompletedStatus is used by one system to inform another that the processing has been completed, but the container has not been released from that system.
  XContainer UnavailableUsed by one system to inform another that the container is no longer available within the scope of the system (e.g., tube broken or discarded).
_ActControlVariableActControlVariableAn observation form that determines parameters or attributes of an Act. Examples are the settings of a ventilator machine as parameters of a ventilator treatment act; the controls on dillution factors of a chemical analyzer as a parameter of a laboratory observation act; the settings of a physiologic measurement assembly (e.g., time skew) or the position of the body while measuring blood pressure. Control variables are forms of observations because just as with clinical observations, the Observation.code determines the parameter and the Observation.value assigns the value. While control variables sometimes can be observed (by noting the control settings or an actually measured feedback loop) they are not primary observations, in the sense that a control variable without a primary act is of no use (e.g., it makes no sense to record a blood pressure position without recording a blood pressure, whereas it does make sense to record a systolic blood pressure without a diastolic blood pressure).
  AUTOauto-repeat permissionSpecifies whether or not automatic repeat testing is to be initiated on specimens.

An estimated 7 to 10% of U.S. women of screening age are eligible to receive NBCCEDP services.

  _ActInsuranceTypeCodeActInsuranceTypeCodeDefinition: Set of codes indicating the type of insurance policy. Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of potential financial loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a potential loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium and duty of care. A policy holder is an individual or an organization enters into a contract with an underwriter which stipulates that, in exchange for payment of a sum of money (a premium), one or more covered parties (insureds) is guaranteed compensation for losses resulting from certain perils under specified conditions. The underwriter analyzes the risk of loss, makes a decision as to whether the risk is insurable, and prices the premium accordingly. A policy provides benefits that indemnify or cover the cost of a loss incurred by a covered party, and may include coverage for services required to remediate a loss. An insurance policy contains pertinent facts about the policy holder, the insurance coverage, the covered parties, and the insurer. A policy may include exemptions and provisions specifying the extent to which the indemnification clause cannot be enforced for intentional tortious conduct of a covered party, e.g., whether the covered parties are jointly or severably insured. Discussion: In contrast to programs, an insurance policy has one or more policy holders, who own the policy. The policy holder may be the covered party, a relative of the covered party, a partnership, or a corporation, e.g., an employer. A subscriber of a self-insured health insurance policy is a policy holder. A subscriber of an employer sponsored health insurance policy is holds a certificate of coverage, but is not a policy holder; the policy holder is the employer. See CoveredRoleType.
    _ActHealthInsuranceTypeCodeActHealthInsuranceTypeCodeDefinition: Set of codes indicating the type of health insurance policy that covers health services provided to covered parties. A health insurance policy is a written contract for insurance between the insurance company and the policyholder, and contains pertinent facts about the policy owner (the policy holder), the health insurance coverage, the insured subscribers and dependents, and the insurer. Health insurance is typically administered in accordance with a plan, which specifies (1) the type of health services and health conditions that will be covered under what circumstances (e.g., exclusion of a pre-existing condition, service must be deemed medically necessary; service must not be experimental; service must provided in accordance with a protocol; drug must be on a formulary; service must be prior authorized; or be a referral from a primary care provider); (2) the type and affiliation of providers (e.g., only allopathic physicians, only in network, only providers employed by an HMO); (3) financial participations required of covered parties (e.g., co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles, out-of-pocket); and (4) the manner in which services will be paid (e.g., under indemnity or fee-for-service health plans, the covered party typically pays out-of-pocket and then file a claim for reimbursement, while health plans that have contractual relationships with providers, i.e., network providers, typically do not allow the providers to bill the covered party for the cost of the service until after filing a claim with the payer and receiving reimbursement).
      DENTALdental care policyDefinition: A health insurance policy that that covers benefits for dental services.
      DISEASEdisease specific policyDefinition: A health insurance policy that covers benefits for healthcare services provided for named conditions under the policy, e.g., cancer, diabetes, or HIV-AIDS.
      DRUGPOLdrug policyDefinition: A health insurance policy that covers benefits for prescription drugs, pharmaceuticals, and supplies.
      HIPhealth insurance plan policyDefinition: A health insurance policy that covers healthcare benefits by protecting covered parties from medical expenses arising from health conditions, sickness, or accidental injury as well as preventive care. Health insurance policies explicitly exclude coverage for losses insured under a disability policy, workers' compensation program, liability insurance (including automobile insurance); or for medical expenses, coverage for on-site medical clinics or for limited dental or vision benefits when these are provided under a separate policy. Discussion: Health insurance policies are offered by health insurance plans that typically reimburse providers for covered services on a fee-for-service basis, that is, a fee that is the allowable amount that a provider may charge. This is in contrast to managed care plans, which typically prepay providers a per-member/per-month amount or capitation as reimbursement for all covered services rendered. Health insurance plans include indemnity and healthcare services plans.
      LTClong term care policyDefinition: An insurance policy that covers benefits for long-term care services people need when they no longer can care for themselves. This may be due to an accident, disability, prolonged illness or the simple process of aging. Long-term care services assist with activities of daily living including: Help at home with day-to-day activities, such as cooking, cleaning, bathing and dressing Care in the community, such as in an adult day care facility Supervised care provided in an assisted living facility Skilled care provided in a nursing home
      MCPOLmanaged care policyDefinition: Government mandated program providing coverage, disability income, and vocational rehabilitation for injuries sustained in the work place or in the course of employment. Employers may either self-fund the program, purchase commercial coverage, or pay a premium to a government entity that administers the program. Employees may be required to pay premiums toward the cost of coverage as well. Managed care policies specifically exclude coverage for losses insured under a disability policy, workers' compensation program, liability insurance (including automobile insurance); or for medical expenses, coverage for on-site medical clinics or for limited dental or vision benefits when these are provided under a separate policy. Discussion: Managed care policies are offered by managed care plans that contract with selected providers or health care organizations to provide comprehensive health care at a discount to covered parties and coordinate the financing and delivery of health care. Managed care uses medical protocols and procedures agreed on by the medical profession to be cost effective, also known as medical practice guidelines. Providers are typically reimbursed for covered services by a capitated amount on a per member per month basis that may reflect difference in the health status and level of services anticipated to be needed by the member.
        POSpoint of service policyDefinition: A policy for a health plan that has features of both an HMO and a FFS plan. Like an HMO, a POS plan encourages the use its HMO network to maintain discounted fees with participating providers, but recognizes that sometimes covered parties want to choose their own provider. The POS plan allows a covered party to use providers who are not part of the HMO network (non-participating providers). However, there is a greater cost associated with choosing these non-network providers. A covered party will usually pay deductibles and coinsurances that are substantially higher than the payments when he or she uses a plan provider. Use of non-participating providers often requires the covered party to pay the provider directly and then to file a claim for reimbursement, like in an FFS plan.
        HMOhealth maintenance organization policyDefinition: A policy for a health plan that provides coverage for health care only through contracted or employed physicians and hospitals located in particular geographic or service areas. HMOs emphasize prevention and early detection of illness. Eligibility to enroll in an HMO is determined by where a covered party lives or works.
        PPOpreferred provider organization policyDefinition: A network-based, managed care plan that allows a covered party to choose any health care provider. However, if care is received from a "preferred" (participating in-network) provider, there are generally higher benefit coverage and lower deductibles.

    EWBemployee welfare benefit plan policyDefinition: An insurance policy under a benefit plan run by an employer or employee organization for the purpose of providing benefits other than pension-related to employees and their families. Typically provides health-related benefits, benefits for disability, disease or unemployment, or day care and scholarship benefits, among others. An employer sponsored health policy includes coverage of health care expenses arising from sickness or accidental injury, coverage for on-site medical clinics or for dental or vision benefits, which are typically provided under a separate policy. Coverage excludes health care expenses covered by accident or disability, workers' compensation, liability or automobile insurance.
    FLEXPflexible benefit plan policyDefinition: An insurance policy that covers qualified benefits under a Flexible Benefit plan such as group medical insurance, long and short term disability income insurance, group term life insurance for employees only up to $50,000 face amount, specified disease coverage such as a cancer policy, dental and/or vision insurance, hospital indemnity insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, a medical expense reimbursement plan and a dependent care reimbursement plan. Discussion: See UnderwriterRoleTypeCode flexible benefit plan which is defined as a benefit plan that allows employees to choose from several life, health, disability, dental, and other insurance plans according to their individual needs. Also known as cafeteria plans. Authorized under Section 125 of the Revenue Act of 1978.
    LIFElife insurance policyDefinition: A policy under which the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the occurrence of the covered partys death. In return, the policyholder agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals. Life insurance indemnifies the beneficiary for the loss of the insurable interest that a beneficiary has in the life of a covered party. For persons related by blood, a substantial interest established through love and affection, and for all other persons, a lawful and substantial economic interest in having the life of the insured continue. An insurable interest is required when purchasing life insurance on another person. Specific exclusions are often written into the contract to limit the liability of the insurer; for example claims resulting from suicide or relating to war, riot and civil commotion. Discussion:A life insurance policy may be used by the covered party as a source of health care coverage in the case of a viatical settlement, which is the sale of a life insurance policy by the policy owner, before the policy matures. Such a sale, at a price discounted from the face amount of the policy but usually in excess of the premiums paid or current cash surrender value, provides the seller an immediate cash settlement. Generally, viatical settlements involve insured individuals with a life expectancy of less than two years. In countries without state-subsidized healthcare and high healthcare costs (e.g. United States), this is a practical way to pay extremely high health insurance premiums that severely ill people face. Some people are also familiar with life settlements, which are similar transactions but involve insureds with longer life expectancies (two to fifteen years).
      ANNUannuity policyDefinition: A policy that, after an initial premium or premiums, pays out a sum at pre-determined intervals. For example, a policy holder may pay $10,000, and in return receive $150 each month until he dies; or $1,000 for each of 14 years or death benefits if he dies before the full term of the annuity has elapsed.
      TLIFEterm life insurance policyDefinition: Life insurance under which the benefit is payable only if the insured dies during a specified period. If an insured dies during that period, the beneficiary receives the death payments. If the insured survives, the policy ends and the beneficiary receives nothing.
      ULIFEuniversal life insurance policyDefinition: Life insurance under which the benefit is payable upon the insuredaTMs death or diagnosis of a terminal illness. If an insured dies during that period, the beneficiary receives the death payments. If the insured survives, the policy ends and the beneficiary receives nothing
    PNCproperty and casualty insurance policyDefinition: A type of insurance that covers damage to or loss of the policyholderaTMs property by providing payments for damages to property damage or the injury or death of living subjects. The terms "casualty" and "liability" insurance are often used interchangeably. Both cover the policyholder's legal liability for damages caused to other persons and/or their property.
    REIreinsurance policyDefinition: An agreement between two or more insurance companies by which the risk of loss is proportioned. Thus the risk of loss is spread and a disproportionately large loss under a single policy does not fall on one insurance company. Acceptance by an insurer, called a reinsurer, of all or part of the risk of loss of another insurance company. Discussion: Reinsurance is a means by which an insurance company can protect itself against the risk of losses with other insurance companies. Individuals and corporations obtain insurance policies to provide protection for various risks (hurricanes, earthquakes, lawsuits, collisions, sickness and death, etc.). Reinsurers, in turn, provide insurance to insurance companies. For example, an HMO may purchase a reinsurance policy to protect itself from losing too much money from one insured's particularly expensive health care costs. An insurance company issuing an automobile liability policy, with a limit of $100,000 per accident may reinsure its liability in excess of $10,000. A fire insurance company which issues a large policy generally reinsures a portion of the risk with one or several other companies. Also called risk control insurance or stop-loss insurance.
    SURPLsurplus line insurance policyDefinition: A risk or part of a risk for which there is no normal insurance market available. Insurance written by unauthorized insurance companies. Surplus lines insurance is insurance placed with unauthorized insurance companies through licensed surplus lines agents or brokers.
    UMBRLumbrella liability insurance policyDefinition: A form of insurance protection that provides additional liability coverage after the limits of your underlying policy are reached. An umbrella liability policy also protects you (the insured) in many situations not covered by the usual liability policies.
  _ActProgramTypeCodeActProgramTypeCodeDefinition: A set of codes used to indicate coverage under a program. A program is an organized structure for administering and funding coverage of a benefit package for covered parties meeting eligibility criteria, typically related to employment, health, financial, and demographic status. Programs are typically established or permitted by legislation with provisions for ongoing government oversight. Regulations may mandate the structure of the program, the manner in which it is funded and administered, covered benefits, provider types, eligibility criteria and financial participation. A government agency may be charged with implementing the program in accordance to the regulation. Risk of loss under a program in most cases would not meet what an underwriter would consider an insurable risk, i.e., the risk is not random in nature, not financially measurable, and likely requires subsidization with government funds. Discussion: Programs do not have policy holders or subscribers. Program eligibles are enrolled based on health status, statutory eligibility, financial status, or age. Program eligibles who are covered parties under the program may be referred to as members, beneficiaries, eligibles, or recipients. Programs risk are underwritten by not for profit organizations such as governmental entities, and the beneficiaries typically do not pay for any or some portion of the cost of coverage. See CoveredPartyRoleType.

Employee's names and services received are kept confidential.
    GOVEMPgovernment employee health programDefinition: A set of codes used to indicate a government program that is an organized structure for administering and funding coverage of a benefit package for covered parties meeting eligibility criteria, typically related to employment, health and financial status.

    HIRISKhigh risk pool programDefinition: A government program that provides health coverage to individuals who are considered medically uninsurable or high risk, and who have been denied health insurance due to a serious health condition. In certain cases, it also applies to those who have been quoted very high premiums a" again, due to a serious health condition. The pool charges premiums for coverage. Because the pool covers high-risk people, it incurs a higher level of claims than premiums can cover. The insurance industry pays into the pool to make up the difference and help it remain viable.
    INDindigenous peoples health programDefinition: Services provided directly and through contracted and operated indigenous peoples health programs. Example: Indian Health Service in the U.S.

_ActPolicyTypeActPolicyTypeDescription:Types of policies that further specify the ActClassPolicy value set.
  _ActPrivacyPolicyActPrivacyPolicyA policy deeming certain information to be private to an individual or organization. Definition: A mandate, obligation, requirement, rule, or expectation relating to privacy. Discussion: ActPrivacyPolicyType codes support the designation of the 1..* policies that are applicable to an Act such as a Consent Directive, a Role such as a VIP Patient, or an Entity such as a patient who is a minor. 1..* ActPrivacyPolicyType values may be associated with an Act or Role to indicate the policies that govern the assignment of an Act or Role confidentialityCode. Use of multiple ActPrivacyPolicyType values enables fine grain specification of applicable policies, but must be carefully assigned to ensure cogency and avoid creation of conflicting policy mandates. Usage Note: Statutory title may be named in the ActClassPolicy Act Act.title to specify which privacy policy is being referenced.
    _ActConsentDirectiveActConsentDirectiveSpecifies the type of agreement between one or more grantor and grantee in which rights and obligations related to one or more shared items of interest are allocated. Usage Note: Such agreements may be considered "consent directives" or "contracts" depending on the context, and are considered closely related or synonymous from a legal perspective. Examples: Healthcare Privacy Consent Directive permitting or restricting in whole or part the collection, access, use, and disclosure of health information, and any associated handling caveats. Healthcare Medical Consent Directive to receive medical procedures after being informed of risks and benefits, thereby reducing the grantee's liability. Research Informed Consent for participation in clinical trials and disclosure of health information after being informed of risks and benefits, thereby reducing the grantee's liability. Substitute decision maker delegation in which the grantee assumes responsibility to act on behalf of the grantor. Contracts in which the agreement requires assent/dissent by the grantor of terms offered by a grantee, a consumer opts out of an "award" system for use of a retailer's marketing or credit card vendor's point collection cards in exchange for allowing purchase tracking and profiling. A mobile device or App privacy policy and terms of service to which a user must agree in whole or in part in order to utilize the service. Agreements between a client and an authorization server or between an authorization server and a resource operator and/or resource owner permitting or restricting e.g., collection, access, use, and disclosure of information, and any associated handling caveats.
      EMRGONLYemergency onlyThis general consent directive specifically limits disclosure of health information for purpose of emergency treatment. Additional parameters may further limit the disclosure to specific users, roles, duration, types of information, and impose uses obligations. Definition: Opt-in to disclosure of health information for emergency only consent directive.
      GRANTORCHOICEgrantor choiceA grantor's terms of agreement to which a grantee may assent or dissent, and which may include an opportunity for a grantee to request restrictions or extensions. Comment: A grantor typically is able to stipulate preferred terms of agreement when the grantor has control over the topic of the agreement, which a grantee must accept in full or may be offered an opportunity to extend or restrict certain terms. Usage Note: If the grantor's term of agreement must be accepted in full, then this is considered "basic consent". If a grantee is offered an opportunity to extend or restrict certain terms, then the agreement is considered "granular consent". Examples: Healthcare: A PHR account holder [grantor] may require any PHR user [grantee] to accept the terms of agreement in full, or may permit a PHR user to extend or restrict terms selected by the account holder or requested by the PHR user. Non-healthcare: The owner of a resource server [grantor] may require any authorization server [grantee] to meet authorization requirements stipulated in the grantor's terms of agreement.
      IMPLIEDimplied consentA grantor's presumed assent to the grantee's terms of agreement is based on the grantor's behavior, which may result from not expressly assenting to the consent directive offered, or from having no right to assent or dissent offered by the grantee. Comment: Implied or "implicit" consent occurs when the behavior of the grantor is understood by a reasonable person to signal agreement to the grantee's terms. Usage Note: Implied consent with no opportunity to assent or dissent to certain terms is considered "basic consent". Examples: Healthcare: A patient schedules an appointment with a provider, and either does not take the opportunity to expressly assent or dissent to the provider's consent directive, does not have an opportunity to do so, as in the case where emergency care is required, or simply behaves as though the patient [grantor] agrees to the rights granted to the provider [grantee] in an implicit consent directive. An injured and unconscious patient is deemed to have assented to emergency treatment by those permitted to do so under jurisdictional laws, e.g., Good Samaritan laws. Non-healthcare: Upon receiving a driver's license, the driver is deemed to have assented without explicitly consenting to undergoing field sobriety tests. A corporation that does business in a foreign nation is deemed to have deemed to have assented without explicitly consenting to abide by that nation's laws.
      IMPLIEDDimplied consent with opportunity to dissentA grantor's presumed assent to the grantee's terms of agreement, which is based on the grantor's behavior, and includes a right to dissent to certain terms. Comment: A grantor assenting to the grantee's terms of agreement may or may not exercise a right to dissent to grantor selected terms or to grantee's selected terms to which a grantor may dissent. Usage Note: Implied or "implicit" consent with an "opportunity to dissent" occurs when the grantor's behavior is understood by a reasonable person to signal assent to the grantee's terms of agreement whether the grantor requests or the grantee approves further restrictions, is considered "granular consent". Examples: Healthcare Examples: A healthcare provider deems a patient's assent to disclosure of health information to family members and friends, but offers an opportunity or permits the patient to dissent to such disclosures. A health information exchanges deems a patient to have assented to disclosure of health information for treatment purposes, but offers the patient an opportunity to dissents to disclosure to particular provider organizations. Non-healthcare Examples: A bank deems a banking customer's assent to specified collection, access, use, or disclosure of financial information as a requirement of holding a bank account, but provides the user an opportunity to limit third-party collection, access, use or disclosure of that information for marketing purposes.
      NOCONSENTno consentNo notification or opportunity is provided for a grantor to assent or dissent to a grantee's terms of agreement. Comment: A "No Consent" policy scheme provides no opportunity for accommodation of an individual's preferences, and may not comply with Fair Information Practice Principles [FIPP] by enabling the data subject to object, access collected information, correct errors, or have accounting of disclosures. Usage Note: The grantee's terms of agreement, may be available to the grantor by reviewing the grantee's privacy policies, but there is no notice by which a grantor is apprised of the policy directly or able to acknowledge. Examples: Healthcare: Without notification or an opportunity to assent or dissent, a patient's health information is automatically included in and available (often according to certain rules) through a health information exchange. Note that this differs from implied consent, where the patient is assumed to have consented. Without notification or an opportunity to assent or dissent, a patient's health information is collected, accessed, used, or disclosed for research, public health, security, fraud prevention, court order, or law enforcement. Non-healthcare: Without notification or an opportunity to assent or dissent, a consumer's healthcare or non-healthcare internet searches are aggregated for secondary uses such as behavioral tracking and profiling. Without notification or an opportunity to assent or dissent, a consumer's location and activities in a shopping mall are tracked by RFID tags on purchased items.
      NOPPnotice of privacy practicesAcknowledgement of custodian notice of privacy practices. Usage Notes: This type of consent directive acknowledges a custodian's notice of privacy practices including its permitted collection, access, use and disclosure of health information to users and for purposes of use specified.
      OPTINopt-inA grantor's assent to the terms of an agreement offered by a grantee without an opportunity for to dissent to any terms. Comment: Acceptance of a grantee's terms pertaining, for example, to permissible activities, purposes of use, handling caveats, expiry date, and revocation policies. Usage Note: Opt-in with no opportunity for a grantor to restrict certain permissions sought by the grantee is considered "basic consent". Examples: Healthcare: A patient [grantor] signs a provider's [grantee's] consent directive form, which lists permissible collection, access, use, or disclosure activities, purposes of use, handling caveats, and revocation policies. Non-healthcare: An employee [grantor] signs an employer's [grantee's] non-disclosure and non-compete agreement.
      OPTINRopt-in with restrictionsA grantor's assent to the grantee's terms of an agreement with an opportunity for to dissent to certain grantor or grantee selected terms. Comment: A grantor dissenting to the grantee's terms of agreement may or may not exercise a right to assent to grantor's pre-approved restrictions or to grantee's selected terms to which a grantor may dissent. Usage Note: Opt-in with restrictions is considered "granular consent" because the grantor has an opportunity to narrow the permissions sought by the grantee. Examples: Healthcare: A patient assent to grantee's consent directive terms for collection, access, use, or disclosure of health information, and dissents to disclosure to certain recipients as allowed by the provider's pre-approved restriction list. Non-Healthcare: A cell phone user assents to the cell phone's privacy practices and terms of use, but dissents from location tracking by turning off the cell phone's tracking capability.
      OPTOUTop-outA grantor's dissent to the terms of agreement offered by a grantee without an opportunity for to assent to any terms. Comment: Rejection of a grantee's terms of agreement pertaining, for example, to permissible activities, purposes of use, handling caveats, expiry date, and revocation policies. Usage Note: Opt-out with no opportunity for a grantor to permit certain permissions sought by the grantee is considered "basic consent". Examples: Healthcare: A patient [grantor] declines to sign a provider's [grantee's] consent directive form, which lists permissible collection, access, use, or disclosure activities, purposes of use, handling caveats, revocation policies, and consequences of not assenting. Non-healthcare: An employee [grantor] refuses to sign an employer's [grantee's] agreement not to join unions or participate in a strike where state law protects employee's collective bargaining rights. A citizen [grantor] refuses to enroll in mandatory government [grantee] health insurance based on religious beliefs, which is an exemption.
      OPTOUTEopt-out with exceptionsA grantor's dissent to the grantee's terms of agreement except for certain grantor or grantee selected terms. Comment: A rejection of a grantee's terms of agreement while assenting to certain permissions sought by the grantee or requesting approval of additional grantor terms. Usage Note: Opt-out with exceptions is considered a "granular consent" because the grantor has an opportunity to accept certain permissions sought by the grantee or request additional grantor terms, while rejecting other grantee terms. Examples: Healthcare: A patient [grantor] dissents to a health information exchange consent directive with the exception of disclosure based on a limited "time to live" shared secret [e.g., a token or password], which the patient can give to a provider when seeking care. Non-healthcare: A social media user [grantor] dissents from public access to their account, but assents to access to a circle of friends.

    _InformationSensitivityPolicyInformationSensitivityPolicyA mandate, obligation, requirement, rule, or expectation characterizing the value or importance of a resource and may include its vulnerability. (Based on ISO7498-2:1989. Note: The vulnerability of personally identifiable sensitive information may be based on concerns that the unauthorized disclosure may result in social stigmatization or discrimination.) Description: Types of Sensitivity policy that apply to Acts or Roles. A sensitivity policy is adopted by an enterprise or group of enterprises (a 'policy domain') through a formal data use agreement that stipulates the value, importance, and vulnerability of information. A sensitivity code representing a sensitivity policy may be associated with criteria such as categories of information or sets of information identifiers (e.g., a value set of clinical codes or branch in a code system hierarchy). These criteria may in turn be used for the Policy Decision Point in a Security Engine. A sensitivity code may be used to set the confidentiality code used on information about Acts and Roles to trigger the security mechanisms required to control how security principals (i.e., a person, a machine, a software application) may act on the information (e.g., collection, access, use, or disclosure). Sensitivity codes are never assigned to the transport or business envelope containing patient specific information being exchanged outside of a policy domain as this would disclose the information intended to be protected by the policy. When sensitive information is exchanged with others outside of a policy domain, the confidentiality code on the transport or business envelope conveys the receiver's responsibilities and indicates the how the information is to be safeguarded without unauthorized disclosure of the sensitive information. This ensures that sensitive information is treated by receivers as the sender intends, accomplishing interoperability without point to point negotiations. Usage Note: Sensitivity codes are not useful for interoperability outside of a policy domain because sensitivity policies are typically localized and vary drastically across policy domains even for the same information category because of differing organizational business rules, security policies, and jurisdictional requirements. For example, an employee's sensitivity code would make little sense for use outside of a policy domain. 'Taboo' would rarely be useful outside of a policy domain unless there are jurisdictional requirements requiring that a provider disclose sensitive information to a patient directly. Sensitivity codes may be more appropriate in a legacy system's Master Files in order to notify those who access a patient's orders and observations about the sensitivity policies that apply. Newer systems may have a security engine that uses a sensitivity policy's criteria directly. The specializable InformationSensitivityPolicy Act.code may be useful in some scenarios if used in combination with a sensitivity identifier and/or Act.title.
      _ActInformationSensitivityPolicyActInformationSensitivityPolicyTypes of sensitivity policies that apply to Acts. Act.confidentialityCode is defined in the RIM as "constraints around appropriate disclosure of information about this Act, regardless of mood." Usage Note: ActSensitivity codes are used to bind information to an Act.confidentialityCode according to local sensitivity policy so that those confidentiality codes can then govern its handling across enterprises. Internally to a policy domain, however, local policies guide the access control system on how end users in that policy domain are able to use information tagged with these sensitivity values.

    REP_HALF_LIFErepresentative half-lifeDescription:This observation represents an 'average' or 'expected' half-life typical of the product.
    SPLCOATINGcoatingDefinition: A characteristic of an oral solid dosage form of a medicinal product, indicating whether it has one or more coatings such as sugar coating, film coating, or enteric coating. Only coatings to the external surface or the dosage form should be considered (for example, coatings to individual pellets or granules inside a capsule or tablet are excluded from consideration). Constraints: The Observation.value must be a Boolean (BL) with true for the presence or false for the absence of one or more coatings on a solid dosage form.
    SPLCOLORcolorDefinition: A characteristic of an oral solid dosage form of a medicinal product, specifying the color or colors that most predominantly define the appearance of the dose form. SPLCOLOR is not an FDA specification for the actual color of solid dosage forms or the names of colors that can appear in labeling. Constraints: The Observation.value must be a single coded value or a list of multiple coded values, specifying one or more distinct colors that approximate of the color(s) of distinct areas of the solid dosage form, such as the different sides of a tablet or one-part capsule, or the different halves of a two-part capsule. Bands on banded capsules, regardless of the color, are not considered when assigning an SPLCOLOR. Imprints on the dosage form, regardless of their color are not considered when assigning an SPLCOLOR. If more than one color exists on a particular side or half, then the most predominant color on that side or half is recorded. If the gelatin capsule shell is colorless and transparent, use the predominant color of the contents that appears through the colorless and transparent capsule shell. Colors can include: Black;Gray;White;Red;Pink;Purple;Green;Yellow;Orange;Brown;Blue;Turquoise.
    SPLIMAGEimageDescription: A characteristic representing a single file reference that contains two or more views of the same dosage form of the product; in most cases this should represent front and back views of the dosage form, but occasionally additional views might be needed in order to capture all of the important physical characteristics of the dosage form. Any imprint and/or symbol should be clearly identifiable, and the viewer should not normally need to rotate the image in order to read it. Images that are submitted with SPL should be included in the same directory as the SPL file.
    SPLIMPRINTimprintDefinition: A characteristic of an oral solid dosage form of a medicinal product, specifying the alphanumeric text that appears on the solid dosage form, including text that is embossed, debossed, engraved or printed with ink. The presence of other non-textual distinguishing marks or symbols is recorded by SPLSYMBOL. Examples: Included in SPLIMPRINT are alphanumeric text that appears on the bands of banded capsules and logos and other symbols that can be interpreted as letters or numbers. Constraints: The Observation.value must be of type Character String (ST). Excluded from SPLIMPRINT are internal and external cut-outs in the form of alphanumeric text and the letter 'R' with a circle around it (when referring to a registered trademark) and the letters 'TM' (when referring to a 'trade mark'). To record text, begin on either side or part of the dosage form. Start at the top left and progress as one would normally read a book. Enter a semicolon to show separation between words or line divisions.
    SPLSCORINGscoringDefinition: A characteristic of an oral solid dosage form of a medicinal product, specifying the number of equal pieces that the solid dosage form can be divided into using score line(s). Example: One score line creating two equal pieces is given a value of 2, two parallel score lines creating three equal pieces is given a value of 3. Constraints: Whether three parallel score lines create four equal pieces or two intersecting score lines create two equal pieces using one score line and four equal pieces using both score lines, both have the scoring value of 4. Solid dosage forms that are not scored are given a value of 1. Solid dosage forms that can only be divided into unequal pieces are given a null-value with nullFlavor other (OTH).
    SPLSHAPEshapeDescription: A characteristic of an oral solid dosage form of a medicinal product, specifying the two dimensional representation of the solid dose form, in terms of the outside perimeter of a solid dosage form when the dosage form, resting on a flat surface, is viewed from directly above, including slight rounding of corners. SPLSHAPE does not include embossing, scoring, debossing, or internal cut-outs. SPLSHAPE is independent of the orientation of the imprint and logo. Shapes can include: Triangle (3 sided); Square; Round; Semicircle; Pentagon (5 sided); Diamond; Double circle; Bullet; Hexagon (6 sided); Rectangle; Gear; Capsule; Heptagon (7 sided); Trapezoid; Oval; Clover; Octagon (8 sided); Tear; Freeform.
    SPLSIZEsizeDefinition: A characteristic of an oral solid dosage form of a medicinal product, specifying the longest single dimension of the solid dosage form as a physical quantity in the dimension of length (e.g., 3 mm). The length is should be specified in millimeters and should be rounded to the nearest whole millimeter. Example: SPLSIZE for a rectangular shaped tablet is the length and SPLSIZE for a round shaped tablet is the diameter.
    SPLSYMBOLsymbolDefinition: A characteristic of an oral solid dosage form of a medicinal product, to describe whether or not the medicinal product has a mark or symbol appearing on it for easy and definite recognition. Score lines, letters, numbers, and internal and external cut-outs are not considered marks or symbols. See SPLSCORING and SPLIMPRINT for these characteristics. Constraints: The Observation.value must be a Boolean (BL) with <u>true</u> indicating the presence and <u>false</u> for the absence of marks or symbols. Example:

  _PopulationInclusionObservationTypePopulationInclusionObservationTypeObservation types for specifying criteria used to assert that a subject is included in a particular population.
    DENEXdenominator exclusionsCriteria which specify subjects who should be removed from the eMeasure population and denominator before determining if numerator criteria are met. Denominator exclusions are used in proportion and ratio measures to help narrow the denominator.
    DENEXCEPdenominator exceptionsCriteria which specify the removal of a subject, procedure or unit of measurement from the denominator, only if the numerator criteria are not met. Denominator exceptions allow for adjustment of the calculated score for those providers with higher risk populations. Denominator exceptions are used only in proportion eMeasures. They are not appropriate for ratio or continuous variable eMeasures. Denominator exceptions allow for the exercise of clinical judgment and should be specifically defined where capturing the information in a structured manner fits the clinical workflow. Generic denominator exception reasons used in proportion eMeasures fall into three general categories: Medical reasons Patient (or subject) reasons System reasons
    DENOMdenominatorCriteria for specifying the entities to be evaluated by a specific quality measure, based on a shared common set of characteristics (within a specific measurement set to which a given measure belongs). The denominator can be the same as the initial population, or it may be a subset of the initial population to further constrain it for the purpose of the eMeasure. Different measures within an eMeasure set may have different denominators. Continuous Variable eMeasures do not have a denominator, but instead define a measure population.
    IPOPinitial populationCriteria for specifying the entities to be evaluated by a specific quality measure, based on a shared common set of characteristics (within a specific measurement set to which a given measure belongs).
      IPPOPinitial patient populationCriteria for specifying the patients to be evaluated by a specific quality measure, based on a shared common set of characteristics (within a specific measurement set to which a given measure belongs). Details often include information based upon specific age groups, diagnoses, diagnostic and procedure codes, and enrollment periods.
    MSRPOPLmeasure populationCriteria for specifying the measure population as a narrative description (e.g., all patients seen in the Emergency Department during the measurement period). This is used only in continuous variable eMeasures.
    MSRPOPLEXmeasure population exclusionsCriteria for specifying subjects who should be removed from the eMeasure's Initial Population and Measure Population. Measure Population Exclusions are used in Continuous Variable measures to help narrow the Measure Population before determining the value(s) of the continuous variable(s).
    NUMERnumeratorCriteria for specifying the processes or outcomes expected for each patient, procedure, or other unit of measurement defined in the denominator for proportion measures, or related to (but not directly derived from) the denominator for ratio measures (e.g., a numerator listing the number of central line blood stream infections and a denominator indicating the days per thousand of central line usage in a specific time period).
    NUMEXnumerator exclusionsCriteria for specifying instances that should not be included in the numerator data. (e.g., if the number of central line blood stream infections per 1000 catheter days were to exclude infections with a specific bacterium, that bacterium would be listed as a numerator exclusion). Numerator Exclusions are used only in ratio eMeasures.
  _PreferenceObservationType_PreferenceObservationTypeTypes of observations that can be made about Preferences.
    PREFSTRENGTHpreference strengthAn observation about how important a preference is to the target of the preference.
  ADVERSE_REACTIONAdverse ReactionIndicates that the observation is of an unexpected negative occurrence in the subject suspected to result from the subject's exposure to one or more agents. Observation values would be the symptom resulting from the reaction.
  ASSERTIONAssertionDescription:Refines classCode OBS to indicate an observation in which observation.value contains a finding or other nominalized statement, where the encoded information in Observation.value is not altered by Observation.code. For instance, observation.code="ASSERTION" and observation.value="fracture of femur present" is an assertion of a clinical finding of femur fracture.
  CASESERcase seriousness criteriaDefinition:An observation that provides a characterization of the level of harm to an investigation subject as a result of a reaction or event.
  CDIOcase disease imported observationAn observation that states whether the disease was likely acquired outside the jurisdiction of observation, and if so, the nature of the inter-jurisdictional relationship. OpenIssue: This code could be moved to LOINC if it can be done before there are significant implemenations using it.
  CRITcriticalityA clinical judgment as to the worst case result of a future exposure (including substance administration). When the worst case result is assessed to have a life-threatening or organ system threatening potential, it is considered to be of high criticality.
  CTMOcase transmission mode observationAn observation that states the mechanism by which disease was acquired by the living subject involved in the public health case. OpenIssue: This code could be moved to LOINC if it can be done before there are significant implemenations using it.
  DXObservationDiagnosisTypesIncludes all codes defining types of indications such as diagnosis, symptom and other indications such as contrast agents for lab tests.
    ADMDXadmitting diagnosisAdmitting diagnosis are the diagnoses documented for administrative purposes as the basis for a hospital admission.
    DISDXdischarge diagnosisDischarge diagnosis are the diagnoses documented for administrative purposes as the time of hospital discharge.
    INTDXintermediate diagnosisIntermediate diagnoses are those diagnoses documented for administrative purposes during the course of a hospital stay.

SECOBSSecurityObservationTypeAn observation identifying security metadata about an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used to make access control decisions. Security metadata are used to name security labels. Rationale: According to ISO/TS 22600-3:2009(E) A.9.1.7 SECURITY LABEL MATCHING, Security label matching compares the initiator's clearance to the target's security label. All of the following must be true for authorization to be granted: The security policy identifiers shall be identical The classification level of the initiator shall be greater than or equal to that of the target (that is, there shall be at least one value in the classification list of the clearance greater than or equal to the classification of the target), and For each security category in the target label, there shall be a security category of the same type in the initiator's clearance and the initiator's classification level shall dominate that of the target. Examples: SecurityObservationType security label fields include: Confidentiality classification Compartment category Sensitivity category Security mechanisms used to ensure data integrity or to perform authorized data transformation Indicators of an IT resource completeness, veracity, reliability, trustworthiness, or provenance. Usage Note: SecurityObservationType codes designate security label field types, which are valued with an applicable SecurityObservationValue code as the "security label tag".
  SECCATOBSsecurity category observationType of security metadata observation made about the category of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used to make access control decisions. Security category metadata is defined by ISO/IEC 2382-8:1998(E/F)/ T-REC-X.812-1995 as: "A nonhierarchical grouping of sensitive information used to control access to data more finely than with hierarchical security classification alone." Rationale: A security category observation supports requirement to specify the type of IT resource to facilitate application of appropriate levels of information security according to a range of levels of impact or consequences that might result from the unauthorized disclosure, modification, or use of the information or information system. A resource is assigned to a specific category of information (e.g., privacy, medical, proprietary, financial, investigative, contractor sensitive, security management) defined by an organization or in some instances, by a specific law, Executive Order, directive, policy, or regulation. [FIPS 199] Examples: Types of security categories include: Compartment: A division of data into isolated blocks with separate security controls for the purpose of reducing risk. (ISO 2382-8). A security label tag that "segments" an IT resource by indicating that access and use is restricted to members of a defined community or project. (HL7 Healthcare Classification System) Sensitivity: The characteristic of an IT resource which implies its value or importance and may include its vulnerability. (ISO 7492-2) Privacy metadata for information perceived as undesirable to share. (HL7 Healthcare Classification System)
  SECCLASSOBSsecurity classification observationType of security metadata observation made about the classification of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used to make access control decisions. Security classification is defined by ISO/IEC 2382-8:1998(E/F)/ T-REC-X.812-1995 as: "The determination of which specific degree of protection against access the data or information requires, together with a designation of that degree of protection." Security classification metadata is based on an analysis of applicable policies and the risk of financial, reputational, or other harm that could result from unauthorized disclosure. Rationale: A security classification observation may indicate that the confidentiality level indicated by an Act or Role confidentiality attribute has been overridden by the entity responsible for ascribing the SecurityClassificationObservationValue. This supports the business requirement for increasing or decreasing the level of confidentiality (classification or declassification) based on parameters beyond the original assignment of an Act or Role confidentiality. Examples: Types of security classification include: HL7 Confidentiality Codes such as very restricted, unrestricted, and normal. Intelligence community examples include top secret, secret, and confidential. Usage Note: Security classification observation type codes designate security label field types, which are valued with an applicable SecurityClassificationObservationValue code as the "security label tag".
  SECCONOBSsecurity control observationType of security metadata observation made about the control of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used to make access control decisions. Security control metadata convey instructions to users and receivers for secure distribution, transmission, and storage; dictate obligations or mandated actions; specify any action prohibited by refrain policy such as dissemination controls; and stipulate the permissible purpose of use of an IT resource. Rationale: A security control observation supports requirement to specify applicable management, operational, and technical controls (i.e., safeguards or countermeasures) prescribed for an information system to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and its information. [FIPS 199] Examples: Types of security control metadata include: handling caveats dissemination controls obligations refrain policies purpose of use constraints
  SECINTOBSsecurity integrity observationType of security metadata observation made about the integrity of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used to make access control decisions. Rationale: A security integrity observation supports the requirement to guard against improper information modification or destruction, and includes ensuring information non-repudiation and authenticity. (44 U.S.C., SEC. 3542) Examples: Types of security integrity metadata include: Integrity status, which indicates the completeness or workflow status of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability) Integrity confidence, which indicates the reliability and trustworthiness of an IT resource Integrity control, which indicates pertinent handling caveats, obligations, refrain policies, and purpose of use for the resource Data integrity, which indicate the security mechanisms used to ensure that the accuracy and consistency are preserved regardless of changes made (ISO/IEC DIS 2382-8) Alteration integrity, which indicate the security mechanisms used for authorized transformations of the resource Integrity provenance, which indicates the entity responsible for a report or assertion relayed "second-hand" about an IT resource
    SECALTINTOBSsecurity alteration integrity observationType of security metadata observation made about the alteration integrity of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which indicates the mechanism used for authorized transformations of the resource. Examples: Types of security alteration integrity observation metadata, which may value the observation with a code used to indicate the mechanism used for authorized transformation of an IT resource, including: translation syntactic transformation semantic mapping redaction masking pseudonymization anonymization
    SECDATINTOBSsecurity data integrity observationType of security metadata observation made about the data integrity of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which indicates the security mechanism used to preserve resource accuracy and consistency. Data integrity is defined by ISO 22600-23.3.21 as: "The property that data has not been altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner", and by ISO/IEC 2382-8: The property of data whose accuracy and consistency are preserved regardless of changes made." Examples: Types of security data integrity observation metadata, which may value the observation, include cryptographic hash function and digital signature.
    SECINTCONOBSsecurity integrity confidence observationType of security metadata observation made about the integrity confidence of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used to make access control decisions. Examples: Types of security integrity confidence observation metadata, which may value the observation, include highly reliable, uncertain reliability, and not reliable. Usage Note: A security integrity confidence observation on an Act may indicate that a valued Act.uncertaintycode attribute has been overridden by the entity responsible for ascribing the SecurityIntegrityConfidenceObservationValue. This supports the business requirements for increasing or decreasing the assessment of the reliability or trustworthiness of an IT resource based on parameters beyond the original assignment of an Act statement level of uncertainty.
    SECINTPRVOBSsecurity integrity provenance observationType of security metadata observation made about the provenance integrity of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which indicates the lifecycle completeness of an IT resource in terms of workflow status such as its creation, modification, suspension, and deletion; locations in which the resource has been collected or archived, from which it may be retrieved, and the history of its distribution and disclosure. Integrity provenance metadata about an IT resource may be used to assess its veracity, reliability, and trustworthiness. Examples: Types of security integrity provenance observation metadata, which may value the observation about an IT resource, include: completeness or workflow status, such as authentication the entity responsible for original authoring or informing about an IT resource the entity responsible for a report or assertion about an IT resource relayed “second-handâ€? the entity responsible for excerpting, transforming, or compiling an IT resource
      SECINTPRVABOBSsecurity integrity provenance asserted by observationType of security metadata observation made about the integrity provenance of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which indicates the entity that made assertions about the resource. The asserting entity may not be the original informant about the resource. Examples: Types of security integrity provenance asserted by observation metadata, which may value the observation, including: assertions about an IT resource by a patient assertions about an IT resource by a clinician assertions about an IT resource by a device
      SECINTPRVRBOBSsecurity integrity provenance reported by observationType of security metadata observation made about the integrity provenance of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which indicates the entity that reported the existence of the resource. The reporting entity may not be the original author of the resource. Examples: Types of security integrity provenance reported by observation metadata, which may value the observation, include: reports about an IT resource by a patient reports about an IT resource by a clinician reports about an IT resource by a device
    SECINTSTOBSsecurity integrity status observationType of security metadata observation made about the integrity status of an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used to make access control decisions. Indicates the completeness of an IT resource in terms of workflow status, which may impact users that are authorized to access and use the resource. Examples: Types of security integrity status observation metadata, which may value the observation, include codes from the HL7 DocumentCompletion code system such as legally authenticated, in progress, and incomplete.
  SECTRSTOBSSECTRSTOBSAn observation identifying trust metadata about an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability), which may be used as a trust attribute to populate a computable trust policy, trust credential, trust assertion, or trust label field in a security label or trust policy, which are principally used for authentication, authorization, and access control decisions.
    TRSTACCRDOBStrust accreditation observationType of security metadata observation made about the formal declaration by an authority or neutral third party that validates the technical, security, trust, and business practice conformance of Trust Agents to facilitate security, interoperability, and trust among participants within a security domain or trust framework.
    TRSTAGREOBStrust agreement observationType of security metadata observation made about privacy and security requirements with which a security domain must comply. [ISO IEC 10181-1]
    TRSTCERTOBStrust certificate observationType of security metadata observation made about a set of security-relevant data issued by a security authority or trusted third party, together with security information which is used to provide the integrity and data origin authentication services for an IT resource (data, information object, service, or system capability). [Based on ISO IEC 10181-1] For example, A Certificate Policy (CP), which is a named set of rules that indicates the applicability of a certificate to a particular community and/or class of application with common security requirements. For example, a particular Certificate Policy might indicate the applicability of a type of certificate to the authentication of electronic data interchange transactions for the trading of goods within a given price range.
