Summary

Mandatory: 8 elements
Must-Support: 21 elements

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

  • The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Observation.code.coding (Open at End)
  • The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Observation.component (Open at End)
  • The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Observation.component.value[x]
