Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-nonpatient-observation and http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-nonpatient-observation

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles QICore NonPatient Observation (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-nonpatient-observation) and QICore NonPatient Observation (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-nonpatient-observation). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
