The thought process or justification for the datatype. In some measures, specific treatments are acceptable inclusion criteria only if a justified reason is present. Each of these measures uses a value set (often, but not exclusively, using SNOMED- CT®) to express acceptable justification reasons. Other measures specify reasons as justification for exclusions.
