A Clinical Statement is an expression of a discrete item of clinical (or clinically related) information that is recorded because of its relevance to the care of a patient. Clinical information is fractal in nature and therefore the extent and detail conveyed in a single statement may vary. To be regarded as a clinical statement, a concept must be associated with a patient in a manner which makes clear:
- Its temporal context
- Its relationship to the patient
- In the case of an observation, its mood and presence, absence or value
- In the case of a procedure, its mood and status
This clarity may be achieved by
- Explicit representation; or
- Implicit application of defaults ONLY where explicitly modeled rules state the appropriate defaults.
