Australian Base Implementation Guide (AU Base 1.1.1)

This page is part of the Australian Base IG (v1.1.1: AU Base 1.1 on STU3 Draft) based on FHIR R3. The current version which supercedes this version is 1.0.2. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

1.0 StructureDefinition-au-bodyheight

AU Body Height [FMM Level 2]

This profile defines a body height information structure for use in an Australian context that tightens the BodyHeightCode slice, aligning to the proposed R4 Observation Body Height profile.

As per the R4 Vital Signs guidance, a separate profile for Body Length is not supported. This observation may be supplemented with an additional coding element containing the LOINC code 8306-3 -Body height - lying (i.e., body length - typically used for infants).

Note: Known issues with vital signs and observation constraints should be considered when using this profile FHIR R4 has corrections that may be useful12

This profile defines a body height information structure for use in an Australian context that tightens the BodyHeightCode slice, aligning to the proposed R4 Observation Body Height profile.

This profile builds on Vital Signs Profile.

This profile was published on Wed Jan 22 10:17:54 AEDT 2020 as a active by Health Level Seven Australia (Orders and Observations WG).
