This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource to record, search, and fetch waist circumference observations with standard coding and units of measure. It is based on the [FHIR Vital Signs Profile](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/vitalsigns.html) and identifies the **additional** mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the Observation resource when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context. 

See [Comparison with other national and international IGs](comparison.md) for a comparison between AU Core profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

### Usage Scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

* Query for observations of waist circumference associated with a patient
* Record or update an observation of waist circumference associated with a patient

### Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

* `Observation.category` provides an efficient way of supporting system interactions, e.g. restricting searches. Implementers need to understand that data categorisation is somewhat subjective. The categorisation applied by the source may not align with a receiver’s expectations.
* Observations **MAY** have additional codes that translate or map to the Observation code or category codes. For example: 
* providing a local code
* providing more specific codes - several additional observation codes are provided in the FHIR core specification [vital signs table](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation-vitalsigns.html#vitals-table).
 
* Observations **MAY** have [component](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation.html#gr-comp) observations to qualify the vital sign observation. For example, 8478-0 - **Mean blood pressure**, 8887-2 - **Heart rate device type**, 8326-1 - **Type of body temperature device**. Several of these are provided in the FHIR core specification [vital signs table](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation-vitalsigns.html#vitals-table).

### Notes:

Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters and combined search parameters. See the [AU Core CapabilityStatements](capability-statements.md) for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

FHIR search operations are described [here](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/search.html) and the syntax used to describe AU Core interactions is defined [here](general-guidance.md#readsearch-syntax).

Any search parameter defined in FHIR may be 'allowed' by the system unless explicitly marked as "**SHALL NOT**". A few items are marked as **MAY** in this implementation guide to highlight their potential relevance.
