Vizient comments
Vizient recommends adding to USCDI v3 Observation Value; Observation Code; and Observation Performer. These 3 elements combined could be used to detail what kinds of observations took place, what the observations resulted in, and who ended up performing those observations during the visit.

APHL Comments on ISA 2022
APHL suggests that USCDI contain some clarification on how this class is expected to be used compared to these other classes, that all contain observations.
Clinical Tests
Clinical Test = Observation Code
Clinical Test Result/Report = Observation Value
Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic Imaging Test = Observation Code
Diagnostic Imaging Report = Observation Value
Laboratory
Tests = Observation Code
Values/Results = Observation Value
Laboratory Test Performed Date = Observation Timing
Vital Signs
This class is slightly different, as it created a single element for the combination of Observation Code Observation Value; so for example: Systolic blood pressure references as vocabulary Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC®) version 2.67 to identify its respective Observation Code and The Unified Code of Units for Measure (UCUM), Revision 2.1 to define the units for the Observation Value, since in this case it will be a numeric value
