description | The US Core Observation Sexual Orientation Profile inherits from the FHIR [Observation](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation.html) resource; refer to refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile meets the requirements of the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) *Sexual Orientation* Data Element. It sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch sexual orientation observations associated with a patient. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption. | The Death Date profile (Observation) provides the death date, death pronouncer, and date pronounced dead. If the actual date of death is known, set value to type dateTime. If the date of death is not known, and a range is known, set value to type Period. This profile is designed to supplant the similar profiles in VRDR and MDI. | Values Differ
