4.3.1.62 Value Set http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/observation-vitalsignresult

This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

Summary

Defining URL:http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/observation-vitalsignresult
Name:Vital Signs
Definition:This value set indicates the allowed vital sign result types. The concept Vitals Signs Panel (8716-3) is a grouping structure for a set of vital signs and includes related links (with type=has-member) to the Observations in this set (e.g. respiratory rate, heart rate, BP). The Blood pressure systolic and diastolic (55284-4) is used to group the component observations Systolic blood pressure (8480-6) and Diastolic blood pressure (8462-4).

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance)
DisplayThe display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
