-
A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of an observation result. EXAMPLE(S): Arm for skin rash. OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): The target site of the observation result may be different than the target site of the observation that generated it. For instance, the target site of the observation may be broad (e.g. skin) while the target site of the observation result is specific (e.g. skin on chest). Sources that capture anatomic site and laterality separately should map both to this attribute. For implementation models based on BRIDG where site and laterality are captured separately, you may wish to capture both concepts as a post-coordinated code structure or as multiple code repetitions.
