Observation
Description
The FHIR Observation resource records measurements and clinical assessments related to a patient's health status, such as vital signs, laboratory results, and other clinical observations. It includes details like the observation's type, value, status, and the time it was made, as well as the subject (patient), performer (clinician), and any relevant interpretations or references. This resource is fundamental for capturing clinical data that informs diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of health conditions. It supports interoperability by standardizing the way observations are documented and shared, ensuring consistency and accuracy in patient care.
