Value Multiplicity: 1
  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Observation DateTime
    Type: 1C
    Attribute Description:

    The date and time on which this Content Item was completed. For the purpose of recording measurements or logging events, completion time is defined as the ending time of data acquisition of the measurement, or the ending time of occurrence of the event.

    Required if the date and time are different from Content Date (0008,0023) and Content Time (0008,0033) or Observation DateTime (0040,A032) defined in higher Items. May be present otherwise.

    When Content Items are copied into successor reports, Content Date (0008,0023) and Content Time (0008,0033) of the new report are likely to be different than the date and time of the original observation. Therefore this Attribute may need to be included in any copied Content Items to satisfy the condition.
