AU Core Smoking Status

This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource to record, search, and fetch observations that represent a patient’s smoking status, i.e. current behaviour for all types of tobacco smoking, with standard coding. It is based on the FHIR Observation resource and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the Observation resource when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.
