1. Units of Measurement

2. quantities and units UCUM Units in RTM IHTSDO - Observable and Investigation Model Project ISO/IEC 80000 / 80003 - telebiometrics (IDMP, ISO 11240)

3. from draft ISO/CD 11240

4. UCUM The Unified Code for Units of Measure Codes for base units and derived units Covers most units in practical use freely available published as XML file lightweight maintenance process unitsofmeasure.org

5. UCUM added units for RTM: –Wood units for vascular resistance: [wood'U] := mm[Hg].min/L –B[10.nV] ( for using dB[10.nV] ) future development: –add syntax rules for logarithmic units –rules for arbitrary units –road to ISO?

6. Lab: Reference ranges for blood tests

7. Unit alone is not enough! relative volume: 1 L / 2 L = 0.5 L/L volume fraction: 1 L / 3 L = 0.333 L/L same unit and dimension! -> fully specified property required! 1 L

8. RTM -> Paul Schluter

9. harmonized RTM table

11. Units and Quantities meter centimeter inch cubic meter liter length volume body height volume of milk v = l 3 UNITDIMENSIONQUANTITY head diam. cardiac output per heart beat

13. IHTSDO Observable and Investigation Model Project Example: substance rate of renal excretion of pregnanediol in micromoles per day (observable entity) –PROPERTY TYPE substance rate –CHARACTERIZES renal excretion of pregnanediol –PROCESS OUTPUT pregnanediol –UNITS micromoles per day –DIRECT SITE urine specimen

14. IHTSDO Observable and Investigation Model Project Example: mass concentration ratio of silver to creatinine in 24 hour urine (observable entity) –PROPERTY TYPE mass concentration ratio –CHARACTERIZES renal excretion of silver –PROCESS AGENT renal parenchyma –PROCESS DURATION 24 hours –PROCESS OUTPUT silver –RELATIVE TO creatinine –DIRECT SITE 24 hour urine specimen

15. IHTSDO Observable and Investigation Model Project PROPERTY TYPE INHERES IN –INHERENT LOCATION –INHERENT INGREDIENT CHARACTERIZES –PROCESS AGENT –PROCESS DURATION –PROCESS OUTPUT TOWARDS RELATIVE TO, REL-TO PART-OF

18. IHTSDO Observable and Investigation Model Project Property Type –This attribute is used to specify the type of inherent quality or process that is to be observed. –Its values are abstract types of quality (length, odor, concentration) or abstract types of process features (rate, speed), and do not include qualities that are located (length of arm, odor of urine), or given a value (elevated concentration).

19. IHTSDO Observable and Investigation Model Project Note: In a coming release of SNOMED CT, Measurement property will become a subtype of a new general concept Property type (qualifier value)

20. IHTSDO Observable and Investigation Model Project Working on Rules for translating LOINC names and cNPU codes into the SNOMED observables model. Viable approach for parts of 11073 nomenclature? Relation to RTM?
