description: This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource to record, search, and fetch vital signs panel observations with standard coding. It is based on the core [FHIR Vital Signs Panel Profile](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/vitalspanel.html) profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the Observation when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.
