Finnish Base Profiles
2.0.0-rc2 - ballot
This page is part of the Finnish Base Profiles (v2.0.0-rc2: STU 2 Ballot 1) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions
Official URL: https://hl7.fi/fhir/finnish-base-profiles/StructureDefinition/fi-base-observation | Version: 2.0.0-rc2 | |||
Draft as of 2025-05-11 | Computable Name: FiBaseObservation |
This is the Finnish base profile for the Observation resource.
The FI Base Observation profile requires that references from the Observation resource to other resources are to resources that also conform to the Finnish Base Profiles.
This profile can be used to ensure greater compatibility, but it should not be expected that all Observations within the Finnish healthcare IT ecosystem conform to this profile.
Usage:
Description of Profiles, Differentials, Snapshots and how the different presentations work.
