Class MedicalDataValue

java.lang.Object
  org.domain.rhims.entity.MedicalDataValue

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

Pulse

public abstract class MedicalDataValue
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

The MedicalDataValue class is used to represent a single medical data value recorded from a patient. It is an abstract base class that is extended by classes representing the different types of medical data, such as pulse and blood pressure. It is an entity class that is persisted. Its Seam name is "medicalDataValue". The primaryKey field is used for persistance reasons. It will most likely be replaced by a composite key class in the future. The patient field is the patient that this data was received from. The timeStamp field is the time at which this data was initially recorded by the monitoring device.
