Vital Records Death Reporting (VRDR) FHIR Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Public Health. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 3.0.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/vrdr/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: Cause Of Death Part 1

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/vrdr/StructureDefinition/vrdr-cause-of-death-part1 Version: 3.0.0
Active as of 2025-01-10 Computable Name: CauseOfDeathPart1
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.40.10.42.15

The Cause of Death Part 1 (Observation) profile reflects the ordered causes of death asserted by the death certifier. The cause of death is initially specified with text. Line number can be 1-4

The certifier of death can be specified by reference to a USCore Practitioner instance (the Certifier profile may be used) from the 'performer' field. This instance should be included in the DeathCertificateDocument.
