ARCHETYPE Tenderness findings (openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.tenderness.v0)

ARCHETYPE IDopenEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.tenderness.v0
ConceptTenderness findings
DescriptionStructured recording of tenderness elicited during palpation.
UseTo record the presence and summary characteristics of tenderness elicited on palpation. This archetype has been specifically designed to be used within CLUSTER archetypes, where clinically appropriate. 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.
MisuseNot to be used for recording the clinical history - use specific OBSERVATION and CLUSTER archetypes. For example OBSERVATION.story and CLUSTER.symptom_sign. Not to be used for recording the results of an imaging examination - use the CLUSTER.imaging_exam family of archetypes for this purpose.
PurposeTo document tenderness elicited by palpation during physical examination.
