Medicolegal Death Investigation (MDI)
1.0.0 - STU 1 US

This page is part of the Medicolegal Death Investigation (MDI) (v1.0.0: STU 1) based on FHIR R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: Observation - Cause of Death Part 1

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/mdi/StructureDefinition/Observation-cause-of-death-part1 Version: 1.0.0
Active as of 2022-02-27 Computable Name: ObservationCauseOfDeathPart1

The Observation - Cause of Death Part 1 profile reflects the ordered causes of death asserted by the death certifier. The cause of death is initially specified with text. The MDI Observation - Cause of Death Part 1 artifact overlaps with the VRDR Cause Of Death Part 1 artifact.
