Resource Profile: Observation - Race

Defining URL:http://hl7.org/fhir/us/vr-common-library/StructureDefinition/Observation-race
Version:1.0.0
Name:ObservationRace
Title:Observation - Race
Status:Active as of 2021-10-12T12:37:45+00:00
Definition:

This profile represents a single race code assigned to the person. If the value is unknown, set dataAbsentReason to "unknown".

Publisher:HL7 International - Public Health Work Group
Source Resource:XML / JSON / Turtle

The official URL for this profile is: 

http://hl7.org/fhir/us/vr-common-library/StructureDefinition/Observation-race

In cases where multiple races are recorded for a person an algorithm (NCHS defined) is used to select a single race. The goal is to provide race statistics that are comparable with those used historically to facilitate time series analysis. The goal is to maintain consistency between data collected after the definitional change (allowing collection of multiple races and ethnicities) and that collected prior to that time. This intent is to maintain the integrity of time series (data collected from a range of time periods) reporting.

This concept is mapped to:

  • IJE Natality Data Elements: MRACEBG_C, FRACEBG_C
  • IJE Fetal Death Data Elements: MRACEBG_C, FRACEBG_C
