Type: | Patch |
Reference: | 1841 |
Version No: | 1.0 |
Subject: | Unit of Measurement Attribute |
Effective Date: | Immediate |
Reason for Change: | Patch |
Publication Date: | 1 September 2021 |
Background:
During review of NHS Data Model and Dictionary content, items have been identified which are not needed for the submission of data, and which do not require migration to the new tooling.
The Attribute UNIT OF MEASUREMENT is not linked to any Data Elements; it is only referenced on items.
This patch retires UNIT OF MEASUREMENT and updates the items to reference the Class UNIT OF MEASUREMENT in the NHS Data Model and Dictionary to support the development of Version 3++ and the Terminology Server.
A short demonstration is available which describes "How to Read an NHS Data Model and Dictionary Change Request", in an easy to understand screen capture including a voice over and readable captions. This demonstration can be viewed at: https://datadictionary.nhs.uk/elearning/Change_Request/index.html.
