alternative Reference to a node in the activity graph or disease-state map for which the decision model determines a preference, or determination of the value of an alternative at this particular decision point. The alternative should be an instance of the recommendation structure (Activity_Graph node or Decision_Map node).Reference to an node in the activity graph or disease-state map for which the decision model determines a preference, or determination of the value of a variable Activity_Graph_Node, Decision_Map_Node 1:1
label Each instance has a unique label that can be assigned by the guideline modeler. The label should be descriptive of the guideline element. Labels have no programmatic meaning.A short human readable string indicating the content of the instancehuman-readable string for the instance String 0:1
recommendation_threshhold The number of strict_rule_in criteria that, if true, make this alternative a recommended choice.The number of strict_rule_in criteria necessary for recommending this choice Integer 0:1
rule_in A collectionof criteria that expresses relative indications for the alternative.The logic used to choose between a set of possible alternatives. This decision model has three levels of recommendation: recommended, possible, and contraindicated. An alternative is recommended iff none of the strict rule-out criteria evaluates to TRUE, and the number of TRUE strict rule-in criteria equals or exceeds the recommendation threshhold. An alternative is contraindicated if any of the strict rule-out criteria evaluates to TRUE. An alternative is possible if it is neither absolutely contraindicated nor recommended. Criterion 0:*
rule_out A collection of criteria that expresses relative contraindications to the alternative. Criterion 0:*
strict_rule_in Criteria that express compelling indications for an alternative Criterion 0:*
strict_rule_out Criteria that express absolute contraindications for an alternative Criterion 0:*
