description	Defines constraints on the Observation resource to represent vital signs observations. This profile is used as the base definition for the other US Core Vital Signs Profiles and based on the FHIR VitalSigns Profile.	This profile represents reportability information based on the PHA in which is located the patient's home, the provider facility, or both locations.	Values Differ
