Resource Profile: Observation - Last Menstrual Period

This profile represents the date of the last menstrual period of the patient. The first day of last menstrual period should be captured. The effectiveTime captures the observation date. Migrated from VRCL.

Usage:

• Refer to this Resource Profile: Composition - Jurisdiction Fetal Death Report, Composition - Jurisdiction Live Birth Report, Composition - Provider Fetal Death Report and Composition - Provider Live Birth Report
• Examples for this Resource Profile: Observation/observation-last-menstrual-period-carmen-teresa-lee and Observation/observation-last-menstrual-period-jada-ann-quinn
