Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

The number of heart beats in a minute.
Oxygen Saturation in Arterial Blood by Pulse Oximetry

A measurement of the percentage to which oxygen is bound to hemoglobin in arterial blood via pulse oximetry.
Oxygen Saturation in Arterial blood, method not specified

A measurement of the percentage to which oxygen is bound to hemoglobin in arterial blood.
Respiratory Rate

The measured number of breaths taken in a minute.
Twenty Four Hour Blood Pressure

An average blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) over a twenty four hour period.

A vital signs panel as defined by Logica Health. It includes Oxygen Saturation via Pulse Oximetry, Oxygen Saturation in Arterial blood, body height, body length, body weight, body temperature, blood pressure panel, heart rate, respiratory rate, head-occcipital/frontal circumference, oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry, and body mass index.
