description	Defines constraints on the Observation resource to represent vital signs observations. This profile is used as the base definition for the other US Core Vital Signs Profiles and based on the FHIR VitalSigns Profile.	This Observation provides the death date, death location, death pronouncer, and date pronounced dead. If the actual date of death is known, set value to type dateTime. If the date of death is not known, and a range is known, set value to type Period.	Values Differ
