The measured mass of an individual’s body.

Scope

The Body Weight profile contains one observation, body weight. In addition, the profile contains the following qualifying observations with associated SNOMED CT value sets: observation-deviceCode, AssociatedSituation, MeasurementSetting.

Examples

The following examples are provided to illustrate conformant resource content to this profile.

Use Case

1. Weight measured with patient fully clothed and wearing shoes.

FHIR path and element binding Text Description Code Terminology
Observation.code Body Weight 29463-7 LOINC
Observation.extension(AssociatedSituation)
Observation.extension(AssociatedSituation).value Wearing street clothes with shoes (finding) 971000205103 SNOMED CT

Value sets

Value Set Purpose
Weight Measurement Device value set This value set contains concepts used to result the type of instrument used to measure a body weight, referencing the LOINC term 8356-8 Type of Weighing device.
Body Weight Associated Situation value set This value set contains concepts used to result the amount of clothing worn during the measure, referencing the SNOMED Code 248159006 "State of dress (observable entity)" and the LOINC term "Clothing worn during measure” 8352-7.
