description	This US Core FHIR Profile is meant to capture any “simple” observations that are not otherwise covered by other US Core Observation profiles. It represents any type of observation that is not classified as vital signs, laboratory, imaging, or other more specific observation types. This profile promotes interoperability and adoption through common implementation by setting minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and retrieve observations such as a clinical observation or assertion about a patient's health status or other general observations. This profile identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.	Profile for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) observations that involve assessment (e.g., by a provider, payer, etc.) as opposed to being derived only from screening surveys (as is the case for the SDOHCC Screening Response Observation).

Many of the SDOHCC profiles reference one another. One flow supported by this IG is that QuestionnaireResponses result in Observations that can be used as evidence for Conditions that can lead to Goals, ServiceRequests and Procedures. However, alternatives paths are also possible.'
