    • Method Detail

      • getCategory

        public List<CodeableConcept> getCategory()
        A code that classifies the general type of observation.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type CodeableConcept that may be empty.

      • getCode

        public CodeableConcept getCode()
        Describes what will be observed. Sometimes this is called the observation "name".
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that is non-null.

      • getIdentifier

        public List<Identifier> getIdentifier()
        A unique identifier assigned to this ObservationDefinition artifact.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Identifier that may be empty.

      • getPermittedDataType

        public List<ObservationDataType> getPermittedDataType()
        The data types allowed for the value element of the instance observations conforming to this ObservationDefinition.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type ObservationDataType that may be empty.

      • getMultipleResultsAllowed

        public Boolean getMultipleResultsAllowed()
        Multiple results allowed for observations conforming to this ObservationDefinition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Boolean that may be null.

      • getMethod

        public CodeableConcept getMethod()
        The method or technique used to perform the observation.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getPreferredReportName

        public String getPreferredReportName()
        The preferred name to be used when reporting the results of observations conforming to this ObservationDefinition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getValidCodedValueSet

        public Reference getValidCodedValueSet()
        The set of valid coded results for the observations conforming to this ObservationDefinition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Reference that may be null.

      • getNormalCodedValueSet

        public Reference getNormalCodedValueSet()
        The set of normal coded results for the observations conforming to this ObservationDefinition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Reference that may be null.

      • getAbnormalCodedValueSet

        public Reference getAbnormalCodedValueSet()
        The set of abnormal coded results for the observation conforming to this ObservationDefinition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Reference that may be null.

      • getCriticalCodedValueSet

        public Reference getCriticalCodedValueSet()
        The set of critical coded results for the observation conforming to this ObservationDefinition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Reference that may be null.

      • accept

        public void accept​(String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
