    .descriptionThe US Core Observation SDOH Assessment Profile meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 'SDOH Assessments' requirements. This profile is based on the US Core Observation Survey Profile and sets minimum expectations for representing responses to assessment tools such as the *Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients’ Assets, Risks, and Experiences (PRAPARE) Survey*. 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 the *additional* 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 uses cases.A vital signs panel as defined by Logica Health. It includes Oxygen Saturation via Pulse Oximetry, Oxygen Saturation in Arterial blood, body height, body length, body weight, body temperature, blood pressure panel, heart rate, respiratory rate, head-occcipital/frontal circumference, oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry, and body mass index.
