| description | The US Core Average Blood Pressure Profile inherits from the [Observation](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for recording, searching, and fetching average diastolic and systolic blood pressure observations with standard LOINC codes and UCUM units of measure. 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 US Core Patient Accommodation Profile inherits from the FHIR [Observation](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile meets the requirements of the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) *Accommodation Data Element of the Patient Demographics/Information Data Class*. It sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch information about modifications, tools, technologies, and other supports necessary to enable a patient to access care. Examples include, but are not limited to, sign language interpreters, wheelchair accessibility requirements, and sensory accommodation. 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. |
