Alternative definition : BRIDG 5.3: A quantity of time falling within minimum and maximum bounds that specifies
the elapsed time between when an activity is ready for execution and the actual beginning
of the execution. EXAMPLE(S): A battery of tests, composed of multiple routine labs
that are always ordered together as a group, may be the criterion group for another
activity. The tests in the battery may be staggered in time such that test 1 starts
right away (i.e. 0 minutes after the start of the battery), test 2 starts 10 minutes
later, test 3 starts 20 minutes into the battery, etc. - the pauseQuantityRanges would
be 0 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively (with minimum and maximum bounds
being the same) A glucose tolerance test which is comprised of administering glucose
and taking multiple timed blood samples which are then tested for glucose - the timing
of each blood sample is the pauseQuantityRange on the relationship between that blood
sample collection activity and the composite glucose tolerance test (DefinedCriterionGroup).
OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): The pauseQuantityRange defines the amount of time between
two points in time: (1) the point when all preceding steps (in sequence) and preconditions
of an activity have been completed, and (2) the actual start of the activity. The
completion of all pre-conditions and preceding steps (based on sequence number) indicates
that an activity is ready for execution according to the definition above. The pauseQuantityRange
counter or timeclock starts then, and when the full amount of time is reached, the
activity begins. A pauseQuantityRange with a negative value means that the activity
starts some amount of time prior to the estimated time that the activity is ready
for execution, i.e. prior to the estimated time that the pre-conditions and preceding
steps will be completed.;
