MethodMethod: The method used to determine the uterine contraction features.
  • Manual [By palpation.]
  • Maternal report [By the subjects report.]
  • Tocogram [Measurement with a tocogram.]
ExtensionExtension: Additional information required to capture local content or to align with other reference models/formalisms.
For example: local information requirements or additional metadata to align with FHIR or CIMI equivalents.
Include:
All not explicitly excluded archetypes
