java.lang.Object

au.gov.nehta.model.clinical.etp.common.item.QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

QuantityUnitDescription

public class QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl
extends Object
implements QuantityUnitDescription

A Class that represents either a Structured Dose or a Quantity Description that has optionally a Quantity, units, and a Quantity Description.

This may be constructed with either a Real valued Physical Quantity or a quantity with units specified in a particular code system.

Use the static create methods to ensure correctness.
example:

 QuantityUnitDescription quantity = QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl.create(new RealQuantity(3,"tablets"));

 or

 QuantityUnitDescription quantity = QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl.create(3, new SNOMED_AU_Code("385057009", "Film-coated tablet"));

 or

 QuantityUnitDescription quantity = QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl.create("3 somethings ");

Method Detail

create

public static QuantityUnitDescription create(RealQuantity realQuantity)

Create a quantity that has units in free text

example: QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl.create(new RealQuantity(3,"tablets"));

Parameters:

realQuantity - a real valued amount of something with units represented by free text

create

public static QuantityUnitDescription create(double value,
                                             Code code)

Create a quantity that has units with a actual code such as SNOMED CT AU

example: QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl.create(3, new SNOMED_AU_Code("385057009", "Film-coated tablet"));

Parameters:

value - a double number representing the amount in coded units of something

code - a code identifying the units of the supplied value, usually a SNOMED CT-AU code

create

public static QuantityUnitDescription create(String freeTextQuantityDescription)

Create a quantity that has both units and value as a single free text field. This is the least usable quantity type.

example : QuantityUnitDescriptionImpl.create("3 football fields")

getRealQuantity
