US Core Pediatric Weight for Height Observation Profile

activeUS Core9.0.0resource6 key elements

US Core Pediatric Weight for Height Observation Profile inherits from the US Core Vital Signs Profile. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch pediatric weight-for-length per age and sex observations in FHIR with a standard LOINC code and UCUM units of measure. It specifies which *additional* core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present in the resource and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.
