StructureDefinition: CareConnect-VitalSigns-Observation-1

A vital signs profile which sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search and fetch the vital signs associated with a patient that include the primary vital signs plus additional measurements such as height, weight and BMI.

The official URL for this profile is: 

https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/STU3/StructureDefinition/CareConnect-VitalSigns-Observation-1
