Description
Preserve explicit observation value and unit text.
Research and visit records distinguish quoted claims, observation codes, comparator descriptions, raters and recorded cointerventions. A metadata link or protocol-review flag is not evidence of efficacy or a validated clinical finding. Time labels and coordinate offsets preserve supplied conventions without assessing a person or recommending an intervention.
Preserve explicit observation value and unit text.
When to use this tool
Use Osteopathic Observation Unit when you already have observationId, valueText, unitText and need to preserve explicit observation value and unit text.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter observationId, valueText, unitText. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter observationId, valueText, unitText using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| observationId | Observation Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| valueText | Value Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| unitText | Unit Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"observationId": "O17",
"valueText": "12",
"unitText": "degrees"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"O17\",\"12\",\"degrees\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without validating a clinical finding. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review original research protocols, comparator definitions and recorded observations for study interpretation. Assess reported findings and efficacy through the relevant evidence rather than treating a preserved claim, rater order or visit-duration label as validation.
