This page is part of the Vital Records Mortality and Morbidity Reporting FHIR IG (v0.1.0: STU 1 Ballot 1) based on FHIR R3. The current version which supercedes this version is 2.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions 
Cause of Death Pathway is a profile of the FHIR STU3 List resource. It is used to convey the priority-based sequence of conditions contributing to the cause of death as determined by the death certifier. The first entry in the list is used to convey the final disease or condition resulting in death. The final entry in the list is used to convey the ΓÇ£underlying causeΓÇ¥, the disease or injury that initiated the events resulting in death. The intervening entries between the first and last entries are used to convey the sequence of conditions leading to death.
