Observation Site
2009-12-07
Definition: This field typically contains the body site(s) where the measurement being reported was obtained. This field should not be used for a specimen source or specimen collection site.
This information is of particular importance if the clinical meaning of a value is modified either directly by the site (for example, is the temperature central or peripheral?) or if the site of one measurement impacts the value of another measurement (for example, is the finger SpO2 probe on the same arm as the NIBP cuff?). In most cases these observations are performed directly upon the patient and do not involve a specimen.
