| ARCHETYPE ID | openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.head_circumference.v1 |
| Concept | Head circumference |
| Description | The measurement of the longest distance around the head. |
| Use | Use to record the measurement of the longest distance around the head. This archetype can also be used for recording an approximation of the head circumference measurement in a clinical scenario where it is not possible to measure an accurate head circumference - for example, measuring an uncooperative child. This is not modelled explicitly in the archetype as the openEHR Reference model allows the attribute of Approximation for any Quantity data type. At implementation, for example, an application user interface could allow clinicians to select an appropriately labelled check box adjacent to the Head circumference data field to indicate that the recorded head circumference is an approximation, rather than actual. A statement identifying the physical incompleteness of the head can be recorded in the 'Confounding factors' protocol element, if required. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record the circumference of another body part. Use OBSERVATION.body_segment in these circumstances except where more specific archetypes exist such as OBSERVATION.waist_circumference. |
| Purpose | To record the measurement of the longest distance around the head. |
