Obs (OpenMRS 1.8.5-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.openmrs.BaseOpenmrsObject
- - org.openmrs.BaseOpenmrsData
  - - org.openmrs.Obs

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Auditable, OpenmrsData, OpenmrsObject, Voidable
```
public class Obs
extends BaseOpenmrsData
implements Serializable
```
An observation is a single unit of clinical information.

Observations are collected and grouped together into one Encounter (one visit). Obs can be grouped in a hierarchical fashion.

The getObsGroup() method returns an optional parent. That parent object is also an Obs. The parent Obs object knows about its child objects through the getGroupMembers() method. (Multi-level hierarchies are achieved by an Obs parent object being a member of another Obs (grand)parent object) Read up on the obs table: http://openmrs.org/wiki/Obs_Table_Primer

  - getObsGroup
```
public Obs getObsGroup()
```
    An obs grouping occurs when the question (#getConcept()) is a set. (@link org.openmrs.Concept#isSet()) If this is non-null, it means the current Obs is in the list returned by obsGroup.getGroupMembers()
    
    Returns:
    
    the Obs that is the grouping factor
  - setObsGroup
```
public void setObsGroup(Obs obsGroup)
```
    This method does NOT add this current obs to the list of obs in obsGroup.getGroupMembers(). That must be done (and should be done) manually. (I am not doing it here for fear of screwing up the normal loading and creation of this object via hibernate/spring)
    
    Parameters:
    
    obsGroup - the obsGroup to set
  - isObsGrouping
```
public boolean isObsGrouping()
```
    Convenience method that checks for nullity and length of the (@link #getGroupMembers()) method
    NOTE: This method could also be called "isObsGroup" for a little less confusion on names. However, jstl in a web layer (or any psuedo-getter) access isn't good with both an "isObsGroup" method and a "getObsGroup" method. Which one should be returned with a simplified jstl call like ${obs.obsGroup} ? With this setup, ${obs.obsGrouping} returns a boolean of whether this obs is a parent and has members. ${obs.obsGroup} returns the parent object to this obs if this obs is a group member of some other group.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this is the parent group of other obs
  - hasGroupMembers
```
public boolean hasGroupMembers()
```
    Convenience method that checks for nullity and length of the (@link #getGroupMembers()) method
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this is the parent group of other obs
  - getGroupMembers
```
public Set<Obs> getGroupMembers()
```
    Get the members of the obs group, if this obs is a group.
    If it's not a group (i.e. getConcept().Concept.isSet() is not true, then this returns null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Set of the members of this group.
    
    See Also:
    
    addGroupMember(Obs), hasGroupMembers()
  - setGroupMembers
```
public void setGroupMembers(Set<Obs> groupMembers)
```
    Set the members of the obs group, if this obs is a group.
    If it's not a group (i.e. getConcept().Concept.isSet() is not true, then this returns null.
    
    Parameters:
    
    groupMembers - the groupedObs to set
    
    See Also:
    
    addGroupMember(Obs), hasGroupMembers()

    Convenience method that returns related Obs If the Obs argument is not an ObsGroup: a Set will be returned containing all of the children of this Obs' parent that are not ObsGroups themselves. This will include this Obs by default, unless getObsGroup() returns null, in which case an empty set is returned. If the Obs argument is an ObsGroup: a Set will be returned containing 1. all of this Obs' group members, and 2. all ancestor Obs that are not themselves obsGroups.

public void setDateStopped(Date dateStopped)
```
    Parameters:
    
    dateStopped - The dateStopped to set.
  - getValueAsString
```
public String getValueAsString(Locale locale)
```
    Convenience method for obtaining the observation's value as a string If the Obs is complex, returns the title of the complexData denoted by the section of getValueComplex() before the first bar '|' character; or returns the entire getValueComplex() if the bar '|' character is missing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    locale - locale for locale-specific depictions of value
    
    Should:
    
    return first part of valueComplex for complex obs, return first part of valueComplex for non null valueComplexes
  - setValueAsString
```
public void setValueAsString(String s)
                      throws ParseException
```
    Sets the value for the obs from a string depending on the datatype of the question concept
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the string to coerce to a boolean
    
    Throws:
    
    ParseException
    
    Should:
    
    set value as boolean if the datatype of the question concept is boolean, fail if the value of the string is null, fail if the value of the string is empty
  - getValueAsString
```
public Map<Locale,String> getValueAsString()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    This was a convenience method for obtaining a Map of available locale to observation's value as a string This method is a waste and should be not be used. This was used in the web layer because jstl can't pass parameters to a method (${obs.valueAsString[locale]} was used instead of what would be convenient ${obs.valueAsString(locale)}) Now the openmrs:format tag should be used in the web layer:
