description: The US Core Observation Sexual Orientation Profile meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 'Sexual Orientation' requirements. this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch sexual orientation observations associated with a patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases. package_name: hl7.fhir.us.core derivation: constraint name: USCoreObservationSexualOrientationProfile type: Observation elements: effectiveDateTime: {short: (USCDI) Clinically relevant time/time-period for observation, type: dateTime, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 5} status: short: (USCDI) registered | preliminary | final | amended + binding: {strength: required, valueSet: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/observation-status'} mustSupport: true index: 0 effective: short: (USCDI) Clinically relevant time/time-period for observation mustSupport: true choices: [effectiveDateTime, effectivePeriod, effectiveTiming, effectiveInstant] index: 4 code: short: (USCDI) Sexual Orientation mustSupport: true pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: 76690-7, system: 'http://loinc.org'} index: 1 effectiveTiming: {short: (USCDI) Clinically relevant time/time-period for observation, type: Timing, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 7} valueCodeableConcept: short: (USCDI) Sexual Orientation binding: {strength: extensible, valueSet: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet/us-core-sexual-orientation'} mustSupport: true index: 9 effectiveInstant: {short: (USCDI) Clinically relevant time/time-period for observation, type: instant, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 8} subject: short: (USCDI) Who and/or what the observation is about refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-patient'] type: Reference mustSupport: true index: 2 effectivePeriod: {short: (USCDI) Clinically relevant time/time-period for observation, type: Period, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 6} package_version: 6.1.0-snapshot1 class: profile kind: resource url: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-observation-sexual-orientation base: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Observation version: 6.1.0-snapshot1 required: [subject]
