FHIR Respiratory Rate Profile
This profile was published on Sat, Aug 11, 2018 00:00+1000 as a draft by Health Level Seven International (Orders and Observations Workgroup).
Description of Profiles, Differentials, Snapshots, and how the XML and JSON presentations work.
This structure is derived from Observationvitalsigns.
