definition

The domain of possible values for a categorical assessment of an observation value.

Discussion:These interpretation codes are sometimes called "abnormal flags", however, the judgment of normalcy is just one of the common rough interpretations, and is often not relevant. For example, the susceptibility interpretations are not about "normalcy", and for any observation of a pathologic condition, it does not make sense to state the normalcy, since pathologic conditions are never considered "normal."

One or more codes providing a rough qualitative interpretation of the observation, such as "normal" / "abnormal", "low" / "high", "better" / "worse", "resistant" / "susceptible", "expected" / "not expected". The value set is intended to be for ANY use where coded representation of an interpretation is needed.
