Draft as of 2024-12-19 Computable Name: VitalSignObservation
Other Identifiers: urn:ietf:rfc:3986#Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)#urn:hl7ii:2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.4.27:2014-06-09

This template represents measurement of common vital signs. Vital signs are represented with additional vocabulary constraints for type of vital sign and unit of measure.

The following is a list of recommended units for common types of vital sign measurements:

Name Unit
PulseOx %
Height/Head Circumf cm
Weight kg
Temp Cel
BP mm[Hg]
Pulse/Resp Rate /min
BMI kg/m2
BSA m2
inhaled oxygen concentration %
Occipital Front Head Circumference Percentile (Birth -36 months) %
