ARCHETYPE Anatomical Location (openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.anatomical_location.v1)

Type: openEHR ARCHETYPE
Purpose: To record details about a single anatomical location, including the ability to record an approximate location relative to identified anatomical landmarks.
Use:

Use within slots in ENTRY and CLUSTER archetypes to describe anatomical location in a consistent manner.

Examples of use:

Use within CLUSTER.specimen to record Anatomical Location details within the 'Collection Site' slot.
Use within EVALUATION.adverse_reaction to record Anatomical Location details within the 'Additional Reaction Detail' slot.

Misuse: Not for specifiying unilateral/bilateral occurrence of a health condition or diagnosis - this is an evaluative statement.

ARCHETYPE ID	openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.anatomical_location.v1
Concept	Anatomical Location
Description	Identification of a single anatomical structure, or area, of the human body.
Use	Use within slots in ENTRY and CLUSTER archetypes to describe anatomical location in a consistent manner. Examples of use: Use within CLUSTER.specimen to record Anatomical Location details within the 'Collection Site' slot. Use within EVALUATION.adverse_reaction to record Anatomical Location details within the 'Additional Reaction Detail' slot.
Misuse	Not for specifiying unilateral/bilateral occurrence of a health condition or diagnosis - this is an evaluative statement.
Purpose	To record details about a single anatomical location, including the ability to record an approximate location relative to identified anatomical landmarks.
References	Use cases: - 5LICS, midclavicular line - L forearm, 2cm anterior to the cubital fossa - Right iliac fossa - 5 cm below L tibial tuberosity - 2 cm medial to R nipple - 4 cm below R costal margin in midclavicular line - R femur - midline nose - medial aspect of R great toe nail.

Name	Name: Name of anatomical location, as specific as is possible. Coding with a terminology is desirable, where possible.
Description	Description: Description of anatomical location.
Side	Side: Specify laterality of the anatomical location. Specified only if this is not clear from the 'Name of Location' data element. at0003::Left [Left laterality.] at0004::Right [Right laterality.] at0051::Bilateral [Both left and right.]
Numerical identifier	Numerical identifier: Identify the specific anatomical site where there are numerous possible sites. Specified only if this is not clear from the 'Name of Location' data element. For example: tenth rib; fourth vertebra; or second toe. at0029::First [Ordinal position 1 of an anatomical location.] at0030::Second [Ordinal position 2 of an anatomical location.] at0031::Third [Ordinal position 3 of an anatomical location.] at0032::Fourth [Ordinal position 4 of an anatomical location.] at0033::Fifth [Ordinal position 5 of an anatomical location.] at0034::Sixth [Ordinal position 6 of an anatomical location.] at0035::Seventh [Ordinal position 7 of an anatomical location.] at0036::Eighth [Ordinal position 8 of an anatomical location.] at0037::Ninth [Ordinal position 9 of an anatomical location.] at0038::Tenth [Ordinal position 10 of an anatomical location.] at0039::Eleventh [Ordinal position 11 of an anatomical location.] at0040::Twelfth [Ordinal position 12 of an anatomical location.] at0041::Thirteenth [Ordinal position 13 of an anatomical location.] at0042::Fourteenth [Ordinal position 14 of an anatomical location.] at0043::Fifteenth [Ordinal position 15 of an anatomical location.] at0044::Sixteenth [Ordinal position 16 of an anatomical location.] at0045::Seventeenth [Ordinal position 17 of an anatomical location.] at0046::Eighteenth [Ordinal position 18 of an anatomical location.]
Anatomical Plane	Anatomical Plane: Description of location in relation to a vertical anatomical plane in the body. Specified only if this is not clear from the 'Name of Location' data element. For example: to support clinicians to express the apex of the heart as located at the "5th left intercostal space in the midclavicular line". at0011::Midline [In the sagittal plane passing through the midline of the body.] at0025::Midclavicular line [In the sagittal plane passing through mid-clavical.] at0026::Midaxillary line [In the coronal plane passing through mid-axilla.] at0027::Midscapular line [In the sagittal plane passing through mid-scapula.]
Relative location	Relative location: Qualifiers to identify non-specific location eg 5cm (distance) inferior (aspect) to the tibial tuberosity (landmark). There may be more than one relative location required to provide a cross reference.
Identified Landmark	Identified Landmark: Identified Anatomical Landmark from which to specify Relative Anatomical Location.
Aspect	Aspect: Qualifier to identify which direction the Anatomical Location is in relation to the Identified Landmark. at0007::Medial to [Relative location medial to the landmark.] at0008::Lateral to [Relative location lateral to the landmark.] at0009::Superior to [Relative location superior to the landmark.] at0010::Inferior to [Relative location inferior to the landmark.] at0012::Anterior to [Relative location anterior to the landmark.] at0013::Posterior to [Relative location posterior to the landmark.] at0014::Below [Relative location below the landmark.] at0015::Above [Relative location above the landmark.] at0016::Inferolateral to [Relative location inferior and medial to the landmark.] at0017::Superolateral to [Relative location superior and lateral to the landmark.] at0018::Inferomedial to [Relative location inferior and medial to the landmark.] at0019::Superomedial to [Relative location superior and medial to the landmark.]
Distance from Landmark	Distance from Landmark: Distance of Anatomical Location from the Identified Landmark. Property: Length Units: cm in mm
Visual Markings/Orientation	Visual Markings/Orientation: Description of any visual markings used to orientate the viewer e.g external reference points, special sutures, ink markings.
Image	Image: Image, drawing or video used to record the anatomical location.
