Vital Signs Implementation Guide version 0.1.0 (Release 0.1.0 Ballot )

This page is part of the Vital Signs FHIR IG (v0.1.0: STU 1 Ballot 1) based on FHIR R4. The current version which supercedes this version is 1.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

StructureDefinition-BodyWeight

The Body Weight profile contains one observation, body weight. In addition, the temperature profile contains the following qualifying observations with associated SNOMED CT value sets: Body Position; Temperature Measurement Device (); Temperature Measurement Method (e.g. auscultation, doppler); Exercise Association; and Sleep status. Note that the measurement method and device value sets are combined because there was a “fuzzy” line between method and device.

Examples

The following examples are provided to illustrate conformant resource content to this profile.


Scope and Usage

Use Cases

1. Weight measured with patient fully clothed and wearing shoes.

FHIR resource path Text Description Code Terminology
Observation.code Body Weight 29463-7 LOINC
Observation.extension(clothingWornDuringMeasureExt)

Value sets:

Value Set Purpose VSAC OID
Weight Measurement Device Refset This reference set contains concepts used to result the type of instrument used to measure a body weight, referencing the LOINC term "XXX" (need LOINC). 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1181.49
Clothing Worn During Measure reference set This reference set contains concepts used to result the amount of clothing worn during the measure, referencing the SNOMED Code 248159006 "State of dress (observable entity)" and the LOINC term "Clothing worn during measure” 8352-7. 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1181.26
Weight precondition reference set Weight precondition values are used when the patient has something attached to their body, such as a cast, prosthesis, or oxygen that may change the patients weight prior to the weight measurement. 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1181.25
