description: This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource to record, search, and fetch blood pressure observations with standard coding and units of measure. It is based on the [FHIR Blood Pressure Profile](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/bp.html) and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the Observation resource when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context. package_name: hl7.fhir.au.core derivation: constraint name: AUCoreBloodPressure type: Observation elements: category: index: 1 slicing: slices: VSCat: match: {} schema: index: 2 elements: coding: index: 3 elements: system: {index: 4} code: {index: 5} component: index: 17 elements: code: {index: 18} value: choices: [] index: 20 dataAbsentReason: {index: 21} slicing: slices: SystolicBP: match: {} schema: short: Systolic Blood Pressure index: 22 elements: code: index: 23 elements: coding: short: SNOMED CT Systolic Blood Pressure index: 24 slicing: slices: snomedSBP: match: {} schema: short: SNOMED CT Systolic Blood Pressure _required: true index: 24 elements: system: pattern: {type: Uri, value: 'http://snomed.info/sct'} index: 25 code: pattern: {type: Code, value: '271649006'} index: 26 required: [system, code] required: [coding] valueQuantity: index: 27 elements: value: {index: 28} unit: {index: 29} system: {index: 30} code: {index: 31} dataAbsentReason: {mustSupport: true, index: 32} DiastolicBP: match: {} schema: short: Diastolic Blood Pressure index: 33 elements: code: index: 34 elements: coding: short: SNOMED CT Diastolic Blood Pressure index: 35 slicing: slices: snomedDBP: match: {} schema: short: SNOMED CT Diastolic Blood Pressure _required: true index: 35 elements: system: pattern: {type: Uri, value: 'http://snomed.info/sct'} index: 36 code: pattern: {type: Code, value: '271650006'} index: 37 required: [system, code] required: [coding] valueQuantity: index: 38 elements: value: {index: 39} unit: {index: 40} system: {index: 41} code: {index: 42} dataAbsentReason: {mustSupport: true, index: 43} effectiveDateTime: {type: dateTime, short: 'Date, and optionally time, the observation was performed', choiceOf: effective, index: 14} status: {index: 0} effective: short: Date, and optionally time, the observation was performed choices: [effectiveDateTime] index: 13 code: index: 6 elements: coding: array: true min: 2 index: 7 slicing: slices: snomedBPCode: match: {} schema: short: SNOMED CT Blood Pressure _required: true index: 8 elements: system: pattern: {type: Uri, value: 'http://snomed.info/sct'} index: 9 code: pattern: {type: Code, value: '75367002'} index: 10 required: [system, code] bodySite: binding: {strength: extensible, valueSet: 'https://healthterminologies.gov.au/fhir/ValueSet/body-site-1'} constraint: au-core-obs-01: {human: 'If a coded body site is provided, at least one code shall be from SNOMED CT', source: 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-bloodpressure', severity: error, expression: 'coding.exists() implies coding.where(system=''http://snomed.info/sct'').exists()'} index: 16 subject: type: Reference refers: ['http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-patient'] index: 11 dataAbsentReason: {index: 15} package_version: 1.0.0-preview class: profile kind: resource url: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-bloodpressure base: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/bp version: 1.0.0-preview
