NCIt definition : A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of the entity or
activity.;
Alternative definition : BRIDG 5.3: A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of an
observation result. EXAMPLE(S): arm for skin rash. brain stem or spinal cord for a
lesion OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): The target site of the result may be different than
the target site of the activity (PerformedObservation) that generated it. For example,
a chest x-ray (observation) has the target site of chest while the result might show
an infiltration in the left lower lobe of the lung (target site of result), or a dermatological
exam may check the skin across the whole body (target site of observation) while the
result might identify a rash on the right leg (target site of result). Sources that
capture anatomic site and laterality separately should map both to this attribute.
For implementation models based on BRIDG where site and laterality are captured separately,
you may wish to capture both concepts as a post-coordinated code structure or as multiple
code repetitions.;
