| description | The US Core BMI Profile inherits from the US Core Vital Signs Profile. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch Body Mass Index (BMI) observations with a standard LOINC codes and UCUM units of measure. It specifies which *additional* 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. | Profile of NonPatient Observation for decision support/quality metrics evaluating resource use and availability rather than focusing on patients. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors. |
