TimeElement might be too broad in cases where we really only want to know an age , and a timestamp would not be appropriate, such as Individual.age_at_encounter
Current temporal types:
message GestationalAge {
int32 weeks = 1;
int32 days = 2;
}
// See http://build.fhir.org/datatypes and http://build.fhir.org/condition-definitions.html#Condition.onset_x_
// In FHIR this is represented as a UCUM measurement - http://unitsofmeasure.org/trac/
message Age {
// The :ref:`ISO 8601<metadata_date_time>` age of this object as ISO8601
// duration or time intervals. e.g. P40Y10M05D)
string iso8601duration = 1;
}
message AgeRange {
Age start = 1;
Age end = 2;
}
message TimeInterval {
google.protobuf.Timestamp start = 1;
google.protobuf.Timestamp end = 2;
}
message TimeElement {
oneof element {
GestationalAge gestational_age = 6;
Age age = 1;
AgeRange age_range = 2;
OntologyClass ontology_class = 3;
google.protobuf.Timestamp timestamp = 4;
TimeInterval interval = 5;
}
}
Proposed AgeElement:
message AgeElement {
oneof element {
GestationalAge gestational_age = 1;
Age age = 2;
AgeRange age_range = 3;
}
}
and usage
message Individual {
// An age object describing the age of the individual at the time of encounter. The Age object allows the encoding
// of the age either as ISO8601 duration or time interval (preferred)
// See http://build.fhir.org/datatypes
AgeElement age_at_encounter = 11;
