description: This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource to record, search, and fetch observations that represent a patient’s biological sex assigned at birth with standard coding. It is based on the core FHIR [Observation](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation.html) resource 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. \n\n Biological sex assigned at birth refers to what was determined by sex characteristics observed at birth or infancy, including genital and chromosome composition. Sex assigned at birth is captured once for a patient and is not expected to change within their lifetime. package_name: hl7.fhir.au.core derivation: constraint name: AUCoreBiologicalSexAssignedAtBirth type: Observation elements: category: {mustSupport: true, index: 1} value: short: Sex assigned at birth mustSupport: true choices: [valueCodeableConcept] index: 12 effectiveDateTime: constraint: au-core-obs-01: {human: Date shall be at least to day, source: 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-sexassignedatbirth', severity: error, expression: $this is DateTime implies $this.toString().length() >= 10} short: Date, and optionally time, the observation was performed type: dateTime mustSupport: true choiceOf: effective index: 9 status: pattern: {type: Code, value: final} mustSupport: true index: 0 effective: constraint: au-core-obs-01: {human: Date shall be at least to day, source: 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-sexassignedatbirth', severity: error, expression: $this is DateTime implies $this.toString().length() >= 10} short: Date, and optionally time, the observation was performed mustSupport: true choices: [effectiveDateTime] index: 8 code: mustSupport: true index: 2 elements: coding: index: 3 slicing: rules: open discriminator: - {path: $this, type: pattern} min: 1 slices: snomedSexAtBirth: match: {code: '1515311000168102', system: 'http://snomed.info/sct'} schema: short: SNOMED Sex Assigned at Birth pattern: type: Coding value: {code: '1515311000168102', system: 'http://snomed.info/sct'} _required: true index: 4 min: 1 max: 1 loincSexAtBirth: match: {code: 76689-9, system: 'http://loinc.org'} schema: short: LOINC Sex Assigned at Birth pattern: type: Coding value: {code: 76689-9, system: 'http://loinc.org'} index: 5 max: 1 required: [coding] valueCodeableConcept: {type: CodeableConcept, short: Sex assigned at birth, mustSupport: true, choiceOf: value, index: 13} subject: type: Reference mustSupport: true refers: ['http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-patient'] index: 6 performer: type: Reference mustSupport: true refers: ['http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-careteam', 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-organization', 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-practitioner', 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-practitionerrole', 'http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-relatedperson'] index: 10 dataAbsentReason: {mustSupport: true, index: 14} package_version: 0.2.2-preview class: profile kind: resource url: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-sexassignedatbirth base: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Observation version: 0.2.2-preview required: [effectiveDateTime, subject, category, effective]
