Attributes

association

Describes whether the healthcare entity it's on is the subject of the document, or if this entity describes someone else in the document. For example, in "The subject's mother has a fever", the "fever" entity is not associated with the subject themselves, but with the subject's mother. Possible values are "subject" and "other".

association: str | None = None

certainty

Describes how certain the healthcare entity it's on is. For example, in "The patient may have a fever", the fever entity is not 100% certain, but is instead "positivePossible". Possible values are "positive", "positivePossible", "neutralPossible", "negativePossible", and "negative".

certainty: str | None = None

conditionality

Describes whether the healthcare entity it's on is conditional on another entity. For example, "If the patient has a fever, he has pneumonia", the diagnosis of pneumonia is 'conditional' on whether the patient has a fever. Possible values are "hypothetical" and "conditional".

conditionality: str | None = None
