description: To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch diastolic and systolic blood pressure observations with standard LOINC codes and UCUM units of measure. It is based on the US Core Vital Signs Profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets which **SHALL** be present in the Observation 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: USCoreBloodPressureProfile type: Observation elements: code: type: CodeableConcept short: Blood Pressure mustSupport: true pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: 85354-9, system: 'http://loinc.org'} index: 0 component: mustSupport: true array: true min: 2 index: 1 slicing: rules: open ordered: false discriminator: - {path: code, type: pattern} min: 2 slices: systolic: match: code: coding: - {code: 8480-6, system: 'http://loinc.org'} schema: short: Systolic Blood Pressure mustSupport: true _required: true index: 2 elements: code: short: Systolic Blood Pressure Code mustSupport: true pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: 8480-6, system: 'http://loinc.org'} index: 3 valueQuantity: type: Quantity mustSupport: true index: 4 elements: value: {type: decimal, mustSupport: true, index: 5} unit: {type: string, mustSupport: true, index: 6} system: type: uri pattern: {type: Uri, value: 'http://unitsofmeasure.org'} mustSupport: true index: 7 code: type: code pattern: {type: Code, value: 'mm[Hg]'} mustSupport: true index: 8 required: [value, unit, system, code] required: [code] diastolic: match: code: coding: - {code: 8462-4, system: 'http://loinc.org'} schema: short: Diastolic Blood Pressure mustSupport: true _required: true index: 9 elements: code: short: Diastolic Blood Pressure Code mustSupport: true pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: 8462-4, system: 'http://loinc.org'} index: 10 valueQuantity: type: Quantity mustSupport: true index: 11 elements: value: {type: decimal, mustSupport: true, index: 12} unit: {type: string, mustSupport: true, index: 13} system: type: uri pattern: {type: Uri, value: 'http://unitsofmeasure.org'} mustSupport: true index: 14 code: type: code pattern: {type: Code, value: 'mm[Hg]'} mustSupport: true index: 15 required: [value, unit, system, code] required: [code] package_version: 6.0.0-ballot class: profile kind: resource url: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-blood-pressure base: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-vital-signs version: 6.0.0-ballot
