Resource Profile: EEBase Observation

Official URL: https://fhir.ee/StructureDefinition/ee-observation Version: 1.0.0
Draft as of 2024-04-26 Computable Name: EEBaseObservation

Observation represents one of the most important and central units of healthcare data exchange - different kinds of observations varying from clinical findings and measurements to social history. The resource is designed to cover a wide variety of use cases and as a result, at its simplest, a resource instance can consist of only a code, value, and status flag. The granularity of instance highly depends on the use case, therefore the minimal viable data considered is a decision that needs to be made during profiling process.
