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-Height

The Body Height profile contains one observation, body height. 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.

Examples

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


Scope and Usage

Use Cases

1. Height measured using tape measure.

Body Height Measurement Device Refset This reference set is used to result LOINC code 41910-1 "Type of Height device" 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1181.28
Body Position Refset This reference set contains concepts used to result the patient's body position, referencing the SNOMED Code 397155001 Body position (observable entity) and the LOINC term "Body position with respect to gravity" 8361-8. 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1181.38
Clothing Worn During Measure Refset This reference set contains concepts used to identify any clothing, such as shoes, that are worn during the measurement of body height that may need to be taken into account. 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1181.26
