-
A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of an observation result. EXAMPLE(S): Arm for skin rash. NOTE(S): The target site of the result may be different than the target site of the activity (PerformedObservation) that generated it. For example, a chest x-ray (observation) has the target site of chest while the result might show an infiltration in the left lower lobe of the lung (target site of result), or a dermatological exam may check the skin across the whole body (target site of observation) while the result might identify a rash on the right leg (target site of result).
