This creates a problem, because
GNUmed menu > Master data > Meta test/measurement types
provides only the button Edit, which on clicking provides only the dialog
Showing meta test types
(list of existing)
[ OK ] [ Cancel ]
Also, if one examines the dialog, what is included in an aggregation -- after
an aggregation would exist -- is not clear. Will there exist a constraint that
all items to be aggregated must each have a LOINC? This will not result in a
1:1 relationship because LOINC does not in every case (if it does in any case)
assign units which is why my in praxis values for
weight
have one value for kg and another value for pounds. I am not sure how to
complete an aggregation for these items, nor to achieve a conversion factor. I
am wondering also whether to differentiate weights reported to me by the
patient. Are such values still permitted to be in measurements and should they
be assigned some separate test type as
weight, kg, self-reported
??
