Resource Profile: Related Person - Parent Vital Records

The RelatedPerson profile contains constraints common to the Mother and Father profiles. Serves as resource profile for RelatedPersonMother and RelatedPersonFather. This profile is designed to supplant the similar profile in VRDR

Usages:

• Derived from this Profile: RelatedPerson - Father Vital Records and RelatedPerson - Mother Vital Records
• Refer to this Profile: Observation - Education Level Vital Records, Observation - Coded Race and Ethnicity Vital Records and Observation - Input Race and Ethnicity Vital Records
• Examples for this Profile: RelatedPerson/relatedperson-parent-vr-stepmother

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
