description	To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch body temperature observations with a standard LOINC code and UCUM units of measure. It is based on the US Core Vital Signs Profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets which **SHALL** be present in the Observation resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.	The QI Core Observation Survey Profile is based upon the US Core Observation Survey Profile which can be used to represent individual responses, panels of multi-question surveys, and multi-select responses to “check all that apply” questions. The QI 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 and defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

Elements differ in comments: 'Null or exceptional values can be represented two ways in FHIR Observations.

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. Because of these options, use-case agreements are required to interpret general observations for null or exceptional values.' vs '"Null" or exceptional values can be represented two ways in FHIR Observations.
