| 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 use cases. This US Core profiles that are derived from this profile are listed below. | General structure for capturing comorbid conditions with respect to a primary ('index') condition. The specific set of comorbidities of interest in a given context are defined by slicing the components array. The same general approach can be applied to any comorbidity category checklist. |
