Summary
This document defines the FHIR resource structure (Profile) for handling a specific clinical scenario, 'Observation - Embarazo: Fecha Estimada de Parto'. This profile aims to standardize and exchange pregnancy-related data, such as fetal monitoring and estimated due dates, thereby enhancing interoperability in healthcare information exchange.
Details
This page details the specification of an FHIR Profile named 'Observation - Embarazo: Fecha Estimada de Parto', which applies to the Observation resource. By utilizing this profile, it becomes possible to record and exchange specific clinical information—such as monitoring during pregnancy or estimated due dates—in a standardized format. Specifically, in addition to mandatory elements of the Observation resource (like Subject, Code, Status), this profile allows for the structured inclusion of `effective` (clinical effective period), `performer` (performer), and various types of values (`valueQuantity`, `valueCodeableConcept`, `valueDateTime`). This enables the representation of medical information not merely as text, but with clearly defined data types and meanings. Such standardized profile definitions are crucial for accurately and consistently sharing pregnancy-related data across different Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and healthcare institutions. This contributes to solving challenges in information linkage, especially in regional care, forming a foundation for providing high-quality continuous care.
