Union of ObservationBodyMeasurement: FHIR Resource Structure Definition

Union of ObservationBodyMeasurement and ObservationBodyMeasurement - NRCeS

May 18, 2025

Summary

This page provides a unified definition for the 'ObservationBodyMeasurement' profile (or resource) within the FHIR standard. This technical specification is designed to handle medical data such as observation results and body measurements in a standardized format, serving as a foundation for system-to-system data exchange.

Details

This document serves as a reference guide detailing the structure definition of an FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) profile, specifically 'ObservationBodyMeasurement.' It comprehensively describes the components required to handle clinical information, focusing on the Observation resource. The specification defines fields such as measurements, body sites (bodySite), and reasons for missing data (dataAbsentReason). Each field is clearly defined with its type (e.g., Quantity, CodeableConcept, Reference) and constraints, acting as a guideline for developers to understand and implement the data structure. Adopting FHIR is crucial for seamless data exchange across different healthcare institutions and systems. By referencing this specification, developers can gain the technical basis necessary to accurately handle standardized data items like body measurements within Japanese electronic medical record systems or regional healthcare networks. Since this content is a listing of definitions rather than an article, it requires high technical expertise. (Note: The text itself is a list of structural definitions and lacks descriptions of clinical significance or implementation case studies.)
