description: The US Core Observation ADI Documentation Profile inherits from the FHIR [Observation](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile and the [US Core Observation ADI DocumentationReference Profile](StructureDefinition-us-core-adi-documentreference.html) meet the [U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)](https://www.healthit.gov/isp/united-states-core-data-interoperability-uscdi) *Advance Directive Observation* Data Element requirements. It is used to communicate whether a person has advance directive information and, if one or more documents exist, their location. Examples of advance healthcare directive documents include physician order for life sustaining treatment (POLST), do not resuscitate order (DNR), and medical power of attorney. To communicate the type of advance directive document, the author, the verifier, and other properties, see the US Core Observation ADI Documentation Profile. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch findings about the presence of a patient's advance directives. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption. package_name: hl7.fhir.us.core derivation: constraint name: USCoreObservationADIDocumentationProfile type: Observation elements: category: mustSupport: true index: 5 slicing: rules: open discriminator: - {path: $this, type: value} min: null slices: us-core: match: coding: - {code: observation-adi-documentation, system: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/us-core-category'} schema: mustSupport: true pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: observation-adi-documentation, system: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/CodeSystem/us-core-category'} index: 6 min: 0 max: 1 value: mustSupport: true choices: [valueCodeableConcept] index: 12 extension: type: Extension short: Relevant ADI documents and information mustSupport: true url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/workflow-supportingInfo index: 0 slicing: slices: supporting-info: match: {} schema: type: Extension short: Relevant ADI documents and information mustSupport: true url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/workflow-supportingInfo index: 0 elements: value: short: Reference to patient or provider authored ADI documents mustSupport: true choices: [valueReference] index: 2 valueReference: type: Reference short: Reference to patient or provider authored ADI documents mustSupport: true choiceOf: value refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Resource', 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-adi-documentreference'] index: 3 status: {mustSupport: true, index: 4} code: type: CodeableConcept short: Observation ADI Documentation code mustSupport: true pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: 45473-6, system: 'http://loinc.org'} index: 7 valueCodeableConcept: {type: CodeableConcept, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: value, index: 13} issued: {short: Date/Time this observation was made available, mustSupport: true, index: 9} subject: type: Reference mustSupport: true refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-patient'] index: 8 performer: type: Reference mustSupport: true refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/PractitionerRole', 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-careteam', 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-organization', 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-patient', 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-practitioner', 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-relatedperson'] index: 10 package_version: 8.0.0-ballot extensions: supporting-info: url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/workflow-supportingInfo type: Extension short: Relevant ADI documents and information mustSupport: true index: 0 elements: value: short: Reference to patient or provider authored ADI documents mustSupport: true choices: [valueReference] index: 2 valueReference: type: Reference short: Reference to patient or provider authored ADI documents mustSupport: true choiceOf: value refers: ['http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Resource', 'http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-adi-documentreference'] index: 3 class: profile kind: resource url: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-observation-adi-documentation base: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Observation version: 8.0.0-ballot required: [subject]
