Fee for Service is used when an individual intervention/procedure is used for billing purposes. In other words, fees are associated with the intervention/procedure. For example, a specific CCI (Canadian Classification of Interventions) code has an associated fee and is used for billing purposes.

Concepts like office visit or session are NOT supported under this definition, as they are sessions (of one or more interventions/procedures).

3     L:  (ROIFS) 17897 ROIFS fully specified ROI

A fully specified bounded Region of Interest (ROI) delineates a ROI in which only those dimensions participate that are specified by boundary criteria, whereas all other dimensions are excluded. For example a ROI to mark an episode of "ST elevation" in a subset of the EKG leads V2, V3, and V4 would include 4 boundaries, one each for time, V2, V3, and V4.

3     L:  (ROIPS) 17898 ROIPS partially specified ROI

A partially specified bounded Region of Interest (ROI) specifies a ROI in which at least all values in the dimensions specified by the boundary criteria participate. For example, if an episode of ventricular fibrillations (VFib) is observed, it usually doesn't make sense to exclude any EKG leads from the observation and the partially specified ROI would contain only one boundary for time indicating the time interval where VFib was observed.

used by one system to inform another that the container is no longer available within the scope of the system (e.g., tube broken or discarded).

2   A: ActControlVariable V16857

An observation form that determines parameters or attributes of an Act. Examples are the settings of a ventilator machine as parameters of a ventilator treatment act; the controls on dillution factors of a chemical analyzer as a parameter of a laboratory observation act; the settings of a physiologic measurement assembly (e.g., time skew) or the position of the body while measuring blood pressure.

Control variables are forms of observations because just as with clinical observations, the Observation.code determines the parameter and the Observation.value assigns the value. While control variables sometimes can be observed (by noting the control settings or an actually measured feedback loop) they are not primary observations, in the sense that a control variable without a primary act is of no use (e.g., it makes no sense to record a blood pressure position without recording a blood pressure, whereas it does make sense to record a systolic blood pressure without a diastolic blood pressure).
