-
A quantity of time falling within minimum and maximum bounds that specifies the elapsed time between when an activity is ready for execution and the actual beginning of the execution. EXAMPLE(S): If drug X was administered, perform lab test Y 1 hour afterwards (contingency target = another activity) - the pauseQuantityRange is 1 hour (minimum and maximum bounds of the range are the same) Only perform a substance administration of drug X within 10 minutes if the blood pressure was over some threshold number (target = observation result from another activity that is an observation) - the pauseQuantityRange is 0-10 minutes Only perform a substance administration of drug Y within 10 minutes if the blood pressure was over some threshold number AND either the result of a certain lab test was positive or the subject\'s temperature was elevated (target = group of criteria, i.e. \'(A and (B or C))\' - the pauseQuantityRange is 0-10 minutes OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): The pauseQuantityRange defines the amount of time between two points in time: (1) the point when all preceding steps (in sequence) and preconditions of an activity have been completed, and (2) the actual start of the activity. The completion of all pre-conditions and preceding steps (based on sequence number) indicates that an activity is \'ready for execution\' according to the definition above. The pauseQuantityRange counter or timeclock starts then, and when the full amount of time is reached, the activity begins. A pauseQuantityRange with a negative value means that the activity starts some amount of time prior to the estimated time that the activity is \'ready for execution\', i.e. prior to the estimated time that the pre-conditions and preceding steps will be completed.
