Effective date / time of change
1995-12-15
Definition: the date and time of the last change in the test procedure that would make previous results incompatible with new results, e.g., the last time that normal reference range or units changed for a numeric test/observation.
We strongly suggest that observation producers never use the same observation ID when the measurement procedures changes in such a way that results produced under the new procedure are clinically different from those produced with the old procedure. Rather the producer should try to adjust the new procedure so that its values are clinically indistinguishable from the old. Failing that, one should create a new observation ID for the observation produced under the new procedure.
