I think targets are more complex than setting a mood code, but I might be wrong. The Goal is 130/90 - is it greater than this or less than this? What if the BP is 40/20 - does this meet the goal - how does the computer know?
It is hard to get this right - but very important if we are to make use of computers.
Cheers, Sam

You are right, Heath pointed out that we need an expression formalism. However, it it possible to have a range specified as well for the value, so it could look like

110/50 < 130/90 if that is what the goal is.

I have to look up the exact specification, e.g. if it needs to be > 110 / > 50 and < 130 / < 90 etc.
I just point to the principle that this can be defined. Similarly intervals can be determinded via IVL and such.

At this stage we have not dealt with the examples you give, but Care Plan is going to be ‘promoted’ as a topic for next ballot and any such thoughts can be worked in a use case / storyboard descriptions / examples.
