| Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/physical-activity/StructureDefinition/pa-observation-evs-min-per-week | Version: 1.0.1 | |||
| Standards status: Trial-use | Maturity Level: 2 | Computable Name: PAObservationEVSMinutesPerWeek | ||
A profile for observations that capture a patient’s average minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
This is a calculated value, created by multiplying the first two components of the Exercise Vital Sign - EVS Days per Week and EVS Minutes per Day. It can be compared to national guidelines based on age to assess patient physical activity level.
