| description | The US Core Observation Clinical Result Profile is based upon the core FHIR Observation Resource and, along with the US Core DiagnosticReport Profile, meets the US Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) requirements for *Diagnostic Imaging* and *Clinical Tests* Data Classes. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record and search non-laboratory clinical test results (e.g., radiology and other clinical observations generated from procedures). An example would be when a gastroenterologist reports the size of a polyp observed during a colonoscopy. This profile is the basis for the US Core Laboratory Result Observation Profile, which defines additional data elements to record and search laboratory test results. The US Core Observation Clinical Result Profile sets minimum expectations to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases. | Defines constraints that represent the minimum requirement for personal characteristic observations which are observations that are usually self-attested but may be attested to on behalf of the subject and are generally only verifiable by the source of attestation (e.g., race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and personal pronouns), but may sometimes be verifiable by someone other than the source of attestation (e.g., recorded sex). This profile is intended for draft use only. For further details on this profile see [Draft Specifications for Personal Characteristics](draft_specifications_for_personal_characteristics.html). |
