This clinical statement represents Advance Directive Observation findings (e.g., “resuscitation status is Full Code”) rather than orders. It should not be considered a legal document or a substitute for the actual Advance Directive document. The related legal documents are referenced using the reference/externalReference element. The Advance Directive Observation
describes the patient’s directives, including but not limited to: • Medications • Transfer of Care to Hospital • Treatment • Procedures • Intubation and Ventilation • Diagnostic Tests • Tests The observation/value element contains the detailed patient directive which may be coded or text. For example, a category directive may be antibiotics, and the details would be intravenous
antibiotics only.
