Concept t 272394005 |Technique (qualifier value)|
A technique (also called method) is a particular way of performing an activity or task.
While a technique describes how a specific observation is performed, it should generally not include specific details about what is being observed, i.e., it should not include a component, specimen type, body site, etc.
Information about what is being observed would be included in a separate attribute of the Observable entity model. The Observable Entity Defining Attributes page provides more details about modeling of observables using various attributes.
