## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/pocd/StructureDefinition/NumericObservation and http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/pocd/StructureDefinition/NumericObservation

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles Numeric Observation profile (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/pocd/StructureDefinition/NumericObservation) and Numeric Observation profile (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/pocd/StructureDefinition/NumericObservation). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
