This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/directness defines the following codes:

Code Display Definition
low Low quality match between observed and intended variable Low matching quality between observed and intended variable, so very serious concern for indirectness in evidence interpretation.
moderate Moderate quality match between observed and intended variable Moderate matching quality between observed and intended variable, so serious concern for indirectness in evidence interpretation.
high High quality match between observed and intended variable High matching quality between observed and intended variable, so little concern for indirectness in evidence interpretation.
exact Exact match between observed and intended variable Exact matching quality between observed and intended variable, so no concern for indirectness in evidence interpretation.
