description	To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, the US Core Observation Survey Profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation Resource to record, search, and fetch retrieve observations that represent the questions and responses to form/survey and assessment tools. It can be used to represent individual responses, panels of multi-question surveys, and multi-select responses to “check all that apply” questions. 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.	A Combat Zone Period Observation is a clinical statement indicating the self-reported date range(s)when a person worked in what is considered a combat zone. Both civilian workers, such as Department of Defense contractors, and military service members could have worked in combat zones. Many people who have served in the military seek care first outside of the Veterans Health Administration system. Collecting this observation can facilitate important conversations about possible related health concerns, potentially prompting referral to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA).	Values Differ

For example, measurement values for a serology test could be "detected", "not detected", "inconclusive", or "specimen unsatisfactory". The alternate way is to use the value element for actual observations and use the explicit dataAbsentReason element to record exceptional values. For example, the dataAbsentReason code "error" could be used when the measurement was not completed. Note that an observation may only be reported if there are values to report. For example differential cell counts values may be reported only when > 0.
