|---|---|
| Concept | Examination of a wound |
| Description | Findings observed during the physical examination of a wound. |
| Use | Use to record a narrative description and clinical interpretation of the findings observed during the physical examination of a wound. This archetype has been specifically designed to be used in the 'Examination detail' SLOT within the OBSERVATION.exam or ACTION.procedure archetype, but can also be used within other ENTRY or CLUSTER archetypes, where clinically appropriate. Use to provide a framework in which CLUSTER archetypes can be nested in the 'Examination findings' SLOT to record additional structured physical examination findings. The CLUSTER.exclusion_exam archetype can be nested within the 'Examination not done' SLOT to optionally record explicit details about the examination not being performed. Use to incorporate the narrative descriptions of clinical findings within existing or legacy clinical systems into an archetyped format, using the 'Clinical Description' data element. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record stand-alone clinical measurements or test results - use specific OBSERVATION archetypes. For example OBSERVATION.head_circumference or OBSERVATION.glasgow_coma_scale. Not to be used for recording the clinical history - use specific OBSERVATION and CLUSTER archetypes. For example OBSERVATION.story and CLUSTER.symptom_sign. |
| Purpose | For recording a narrative description and clinical interpretation of the findings observed during the physical examination of a wound. |

| items | |
| Wound label | Wound label: A name or alias for a single wound, so that it can be distinguished from other wounds. |
| Type | Type: The type of wound examined. Choice of:
|
| System or structure examined | System or structure examined: Identification of the examined body system or anatomical structure. For example: the very generic term "skin", which will likely require additional qualification using one of the 'Body site' data elements, or the complete phrase "skin of right knee". Coding of the system or structure examined with a terminology is preferred, where possible. |
| Body site | Body site: Identification of the area of the body under examination. For example: "entire body", "face" or "right cheek". If the body site has been fully identified in the 'System or structure examined' data element, this data element becomes redundant. |
| Structured body site | Structured body site: A structured description of the area of the body under examination. If the body site has been fully identified in the 'System or structure examined' or the 'Body site' data element, this SLOT becomes redundant.
