Finnish Base Profiles, published by HL7 Finland. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.0-rc2 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/fhir-fi/finnish-base-profiles/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
| Official URL: https://hl7.fi/fhir/finnish-base-profiles/StructureDefinition/fi-base-observation | Version: 2.0.0-rc2 | |||
| Draft as of 2025-08-04 | Computable Name: FiBaseObservation | |||
This is the Finnish base profile for the Observation resource.
The FI Base Observation profile requires that references from the Observation resource to other resources are to resources that also conform to the Finnish Base Profiles.
This profile can be used to ensure greater compatibility, but it should not be expected that all Observations within the Finnish healthcare IT ecosystem conform to this profile.
