Preferred Label : Performed Observation Approach Anatomic Site Code;
NCIt related terms : PerformedObservation.approachAnatomicSiteCode;
NCIt definition : A coded value specifying the anatomic location of a performed observation.;
Alternative definition : BRIDG 3.0.3: A coded value specifying the anatomic location or access point for an
observation. EXAMPLE(S): Anus for a colonoscopy observation; NOTE(S): Neither target
anatomic site nor approach anatomic site is necessarily required or relevant for certain
observations, however if either or both are present then the distinction between them
is that the approach site is where the measurement or observation is performed and
the target site is what is ultimately being evaluated. The target site is often implicit
in the definition of the observation itself.; BRIDG 5.3: A coded value specifying the anatomic location or access point for an observation.
EXAMPLE(S): Anus for a colonoscopy observation OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): Neither target
anatomic site nor approach anatomic site is necessarily required or relevant for certain
observations, however if either or both are present then the distinction between them
is that the approach site is the acces point for the measurement or observation and
the target site is what is ultimately being evaluated. 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.;
