| description | To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile is based on the base [FHIR Vital Signs Profile](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation-vitalsigns.html) and defines *additional* constraints on the Observation resource to represent vital signs observations. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases. This US Core profiles that are derived from this profile are listed below. | This Observation profile represents potential patient exposure and contact information and should be used to record information about the patient's exposure to an agent (exposure source) or to record information about those that the patient could have exposed to an agent (exposure target). Recording of this information could assist/support in contact tracing or other control measures. |
