Birth Record Identifier

Birth Record Identifier is a profile of the FHIR STU3 Observation resource. It is used to convey birth certificate record locator information linking the death report to the birth record of the decedent. The Birth Record Identifier profile has two components BirthYear - the birth year of the decedent, and BirthState the ISO code for the state in which the decedent birth records are maintained, presumably the state in which the decedent was born.
