Specifies an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used to record when things are planned, expected or requested to occur. The most common usage is in dosage instructions for medications. They are also used when planning care of various kinds, and may be used for reporting the schedule to which past regular activities were carried out.

Describes the occurrence of an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used for specifying when events are expected or requested to occur, and may also be used to represent the summary of a past or ongoing event. For simplicity, the definitions of Timing components are expressed as 'future' events, but such components can also be used to describe historic or ongoing events.

A Timing schedule can be a list of events and/or criteria for when the event happens, which can be expressed in a structured form and/or as a code. When both event and a repeating specification are provided, the list of events should be understood as an interpretation of the information in the repeat structure.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Identifies specific times when the event occurs.

In a Medication Administration Record, for instance, you need to take a general specification, and turn it into a precise specification.

Eine Menge von Regeln, die beschreiben, wann das Ereignis geplant ist.

Many timing schedules are determined by regular repetitions.

Entweder eine Dauer für die Länge des Zeitplans, ein Bereich möglicher Längen oder äußere Begrenzungen für Start- und/oder Endgrenzen des Zeitplans.

tbd

Either a duration for the length of the timing schedule, a range of possible length, or outer bounds for start and/or end limits of the timing schedule.

How the value should be understood and represented - whether the actual value is greater or less than the stated value due to measurement issues; e.g. if the comparator is "<" , then the real value is < stated value.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

How the Quantity should be understood and represented.

Need a framework for handling measures where the value is <5ug/L or >400mg/L due to the limitations of measuring methodology.

A human-readable form of the unit.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

There are many representations for units of measure and in many contexts, particular representations are fixed and required. I.e. mcg for micrograms.

The identification of the system that provides the coded form of the unit.

Die UCUM-Einheit für die Dauer, z. B. d für Tag, h für Stunde, min für Minute.

Need to know the system that defines the coded form of the unit.

A computer processable form of the unit in some unit representation system.

The preferred system is UCUM, but SNOMED CT can also be used (for customary units) or ISO 4217 for currency. The context of use may additionally require a code from a particular system.

Need a computable form of the unit that is fixed across all forms. UCUM provides this for quantities, but SNOMED CT provides many units of interest.

A total count of the desired number of repetitions across the duration of the entire timing specification. If countMax is present, this element indicates the lower bound of the allowed range of count values.

If you have both bounds and count, then this should be understood as within the bounds period, until count times happens.

Repetitions may be limited by end time or total occurrences.

If present, indicates that the count is a range - so to perform the action between [count] and [countMax] times.

32 bit number; for values larger than this, use decimal

How long this thing happens for when it happens. If durationMax is present, this element indicates the lower bound of the allowed range of the duration.

For some events the duration is part of the definition of the event (e.g. IV infusions, where the duration is implicit in the specified quantity and rate). For others, it's part of the timing specification (e.g. exercise).

Some activities are not instantaneous and need to be maintained for a period of time.

If present, indicates that the duration is a range - so to perform the action between [duration] and [durationMax] time length.

32 bit number; for values larger than this, use decimal

If present, indicates that the frequency is a range - so to repeat between [frequency] and [frequencyMax] times within the period or period range.

32 bit number; for values larger than this, use decimal

Gibt die Zeitspanne an, über die die Wiederholungen stattfinden sollen; z. B. um „3-mal täglich“ auszudrücken, wäre 3 die Häufigkeit und „1 Tag“ der Zeitraum. Falls periodMax vorhanden ist, gibt dieses Element die Untergrenze des zulässigen Bereichs der Zeitspanne an.

Do not use an IEEE type floating point type, instead use something that works like a true decimal, with inbuilt precision (e.g. Java BigInteger)

If present, indicates that the period is a range from [period] to [periodMax], allowing expressing concepts such as "do this once every 3-5 days.

Wenn eine Tageszeit angegeben ist, wird angenommen, dass die Aktion jeden Tag (ggf. gefiltert durch dayOfWeek) zu den angegebenen Zeiten stattfindet.

Ein ungefährer Zeitraum während des Tages, der möglicherweise mit einem Ereignis des täglichen Lebens verknüpft ist und angibt, wann die Aktion stattfinden soll.

Wenn mehr als ein Ereignis angegeben ist, bezieht sich das Ereignis auf die Vereinigung der angegebenen Ereignisse.

Timings are frequently determined by occurrences such as waking, eating and sleep.

The number of minutes from the event. If the event code does not indicate whether the minutes is before or after the event, then the offset is assumed to be after the event.

32 bit number; for values larger than this, use decimal

A code for the timing schedule (or just text in code.text). Some codes such as BID are ubiquitous, but many institutions define their own additional codes. If a code is provided, the code is understood to be a complete statement of whatever is specified in the structured timing data, and either the code or the data may be used to interpret the Timing, with the exception that .repeat.bounds still applies over the code (and is not contained in the code).

BID etc. are defined as 'at institutionally specified times'. For example, an institution may choose that BID is "always at 7am and 6pm". If it is inappropriate for this choice to be made, the code BID should not be used. Instead, a distinct organization-specific code should be used in place of the HL7-defined BID code and/or a structured representation should be used (in this case, specifying the two event times).

Code for a known / defined timing pattern.

The value of the measured amount. The value includes an implicit precision in the presentation of the value.

The implicit precision in the value should always be honored. Monetary values have their own rules for handling precision (refer to standard accounting text books).

Precision is handled implicitly in almost all cases of measurement.
