Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
COMPARABLE	The data element is sufficiently well-constrained that multiple pieces of data captured according to the constraints of the data element will be comparable (though in some cases, a degree of automated conversion/normalization may be required).
CONVERTABLE	The data element allows multiple units of measure that are convertable between each other (e.g.
EQUIVALENT	The data element allows multiple units of measure having equivalent meaning; e.g.
FLEXIBLE	The data element is unconstrained in units, choice of data types and/or choice of vocabulary such that automated comparison of data captured using the data element is not possible.
FULLYSPECIFIED	The data element is fully specified down to a single value set, single unit of measure, single data type, etc.
NULL	added to help the parsers
SCALEABLE	A convertable data element where unit conversions are different only by a power of 10; e.g.

Enum Constant Detail

COMPARABLE

public static final DataElement.DataElementStringency COMPARABLE

The data element is sufficiently well-constrained that multiple pieces of data captured according to the constraints of the data element will be comparable (though in some cases, a degree of automated conversion/normalization may be required).

FULLYSPECIFIED

public static final DataElement.DataElementStringency FULLYSPECIFIED

The data element is fully specified down to a single value set, single unit of measure, single data type, etc. Multiple pieces of data associated with this data element are fully comparable.

EQUIVALENT

public static final DataElement.DataElementStringency EQUIVALENT

The data element allows multiple units of measure having equivalent meaning; e.g. "cc" (cubic centimeter) and "mL" (milliliter).

CONVERTABLE

public static final DataElement.DataElementStringency CONVERTABLE

The data element allows multiple units of measure that are convertable between each other (e.g. inches and centimeters) and/or allows data to be captured in multiple value sets for which a known mapping exists allowing conversion of meaning.

SCALEABLE

public static final DataElement.DataElementStringency SCALEABLE

A convertable data element where unit conversions are different only by a power of 10; e.g. g, mg, kg.

FLEXIBLE

public static final DataElement.DataElementStringency FLEXIBLE

The data element is unconstrained in units, choice of data types and/or choice of vocabulary such that automated comparison of data captured using the data element is not possible.

NULL

public static final DataElement.DataElementStringency NULL

Method Detail

values

public static DataElement.DataElementStringency[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DataElement.DataElementStringency c : DataElement.DataElementStringency.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DataElement.DataElementStringency valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

fromCode

public static DataElement.DataElementStringency fromCode(String codeString)
                                                  throws org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException

Throws:

org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException
