Submitted date: 11/24/2008	Change request ID: CSCR-084

Issue

Sometimes in public health reporting the relationship between two acts is unclear.

Recommendation

• Add the uncertaintyCode attribute to the sourceOf2/targetOf and sourceOf1 act relationships in the CS model.

Rationale

In one model for documenting exposures the relationship between an acquisition exposure event and a transmission exposure event may be uncertain.

Recommended Action Items

Add the following attribute to the sourceOf2/targetOf and sourceOf1 act relationships:

• uncertaintyCode – CE CNE [0..1] <= ActUncertainty (optional)
  • (RIM) A code indicating whether the specific relationship between the source and target Acts has been asserted to be uncertain in any way.

Resolution

Motion to accept. Austin Kreisler, Patrick Loyd
There is no degree to the level of certainty (certain, uncertain, no assertion of certainty).
Against: 0; Abstain: 0; In Favor: 6
