US Core Observation Sexual Orientation Profile

The US Core Observation Sexual Orientation Profile inherits from the FHIR Observation resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This Profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch sexual orientation observations associated with a patient. It specifies which 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.
