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 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: {type: dateTime, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 5} status: binding: {strength: required, valueSet: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/observation-status'} mustSupport: true index: 0 effective: mustSupport: true choices: [effectiveDateTime, effectivePeriod, effectiveTiming, effectiveInstant] index: 4 code: short: Sexual Orientation mustSupport: true pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: 76690-7, system: 'http://loinc.org'} index: 1 effectiveTiming: {type: Timing, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 7} valueCodeableConcept: short: Sexual Orientation binding: {strength: extensible, valueSet: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet/us-core-sexual-orientation'} mustSupport: true index: 9 effectiveInstant: {type: instant, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 8} subject: type: Reference mustSupport: true refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-patient'] index: 2 effectivePeriod: {type: Period, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: effective, index: 6} package_version: 6.0.0-ballot 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: 6.0.0-ballot required: [subject]
