FHIR Heart Rate Profile
This profile was published on Sat, Aug 11, 2018 00:00+1000 as a draft by HL7 International / Orders and Observations.
Description of Profiles, Differentials, Snapshots, and how the XML and JSON presentations work.
This structure is derived from Observationvitalsigns.
Summary
Observation.code which must have
Observation.code.coding.system='http ://loinc.org'Observation.code.coding.code= '8867-4'Observation.code- e.g. more specific LOINC
Codes, SNOMED CT concepts, system specific codes. All codes
SHALL have a system valueMandatory: 4 elements (+4 nested mandatory elements)
Must-Support: 4 elements
Fixed Value: 4 elements
Slices
This structure defines the following Slices:
