Class: Assessment

Description of: Assessment

Class steward is Orders/Observation
A subclass of Service_event and a superclass that captures the data related to a kind of service that represents abstraction and interpretation of data from a data source and includes observations, metaobservations, assignment of an observation or metaobservation to a problem list of allergy list or goal e.g. lab results, question results, physical exam results, impressions problem list entry, allergy list entry, goal assignment, etc. This class is orthogonal to Care_event

Rational: Since multiple kinds of assessments are delivered as a healthcare service, a class is needed to record the nature of those assessments and the resulting values(s) associated with those assessments. An assessment is a kind of service that describes the collection and interpretation of data from a data source and the nature of that data. In this class, it also describes the value(s) associated with the action of data collection and interpretation.
