description	The US Core Laboratory Result Observation Profile is based upon the US Core Observation Clinical Result Profile and, along with the US Core DiagnosticReport Profile for Laboratory Results Reporting, meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Laboratory requirements. Laboratory results are grouped and summarized using the DiagnosticReport resource, which references Observation resources. Each Observation resource represents an individual laboratory test and result value, a “nested” panel (such as a microbial susceptibility panel) that references other observations, or rarely a laboratory test with component result values. The US Core Laboratory Result Observation Profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch laboratory test results associated with a patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. 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 use cases.	Profile for ethnicity observations that use Office of Management and Budget (OMB) ethnicity category codes and CDC ethnicity codes. This profile is intended for draft use only. The Cross-Group Projects work group granted a variance to US Core on 06/23/2022 - Jira ticket FHIR-37582. For further details on this profile see [Draft Specifications for Personal Characteristics](draft_specifications_for_personal_characteristics.html).	Values Differ

Systems SHALL be capable of sending the local code if one exists. When using LOINC , Use either the SHORTNAME or LONG_COMMON_NAME field for the display.' vs '*All* code-value and, if present, component.code-component.value pairs need to be taken into account to correctly understand the meaning of the observation. NOTE: In LOINC, System Patient is used in the modeling of codes referenced by the Personal Characteristics profiles (e.g., 72826-1 Race OMB.1997, 69490-1 Ethnicity OMB.1997, 76691-5 Gender identity, 76690-7 Sexual orientation, 90778-2 Personal pronouns – Reported, and 99502-7 Recorded sex or gender). If the draft profiles are adopted, new LOINC codes without System Patient would be needed since these profiles can also be used to capture characteristics of a provider (using an extension) or a related person (using focus).'
