Class Timing

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Visitable
    @Generated("com.ibm.fhir.tools.CodeGenerator")
public class Timing
extends BackboneElement
    Specifies an event that may occur multiple times. Timing schedules are used to record when things are planned, expected or requested to occur. The most common usage is in dosage instructions for medications. They are also used when planning care of various kinds, and may be used for reporting the schedule to which past regular activities were carried out.

    • Method Detail

      • getEvent

        public List<DateTime> getEvent()
        Identifies specific times when the event occurs.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type DateTime that may be empty.

      • getRepeat

        public Timing.Repeat getRepeat()
        A set of rules that describe when the event is scheduled.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Timing.Repeat that may be null.

      • getCode

        public CodeableConcept getCode()
        A code for the timing schedule (or just text in code.text). Some codes such as BID are ubiquitous, but many institutions define their own additional codes. If a code is provided, the code is understood to be a complete statement of whatever is specified in the structured timing data, and either the code or the data may be used to interpret the Timing, with the exception that .repeat.bounds still applies over the code (and is not contained in the code).
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • accept

        public void accept​(String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use

      • hashCode

        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
