Resource Profile: MIMIC-ED Observation Vital Signs

Official URL: http://mimic.mit.edu/fhir/mimic/StructureDefinition/mimic-observation-vital-signs Version: 1.3.0
Active as of 2024-02-08 Computable Name: MimicObservationVitalSigns

An Observation resource (based on FHIR R4 Observation) that represents a single measurement from a row of the triage and vitalsign tables of MIMIC-ED: only pain, temperature, heartrate, resprate, blood pressure sbp dbp, and o2sat.
