Batch Authoring of Expressions

Expression templates may be applied to ensure a consistent structure is used by a set of authored expressions. For example, there may be a preference to always represent allergies using an expression in which the allergen is explicitly defined as the value of the

 attribute. Given an appropriate expression template and a predefined list of allergen substances, a set of postcoordinated expressions can automatically be batch authored (as shown below).

Composing Expressions from a User Interface

Expression Templates are also useful for creating postcoordinated expressions from data entered in a user interface. For example, a radiology user interface may use two separate fields to capture the imaging procedure and the body site to which the procedure was applied. An expression template can then be applied to combine the data entered into these two fields into a single postcoordinated expression (see diagram below).
