Preferred Label : Defined Observation Target Anatomic Site Code;
NCIt related terms : DefinedObservation.targetAnatomicSiteCode;
NCIt definition : A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of the observation.;
Alternative definition : BRIDG 3.0.3: A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of the
observation. EXAMPLE(S): lung, leg. NOTE(S): The target site of the observation result
may be different than the target site of the observation that generated it. For instance,
the target site of the observation may be broad (e.g. skin) while the target site
of the observation result is specific (e.g. skin on chest).; BRIDG 5.3: A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of the
observation. EXAMPLE(S): lung, leg OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): The target site of the
observation result may be different than the target site of the observation that generated
it. For instance, the target site of the observation may be broad (e.g. skin) while
the target site of the observation result is specific (e.g. skin on chest). 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.;
