Description
The vital sign Heart Rate is listed to use LOINC code "8867-4" and UCUM units "/min". This particular LOINC code has (granted: "example") units of
{beats}/min according to LOINC itself. I could also find reference to {beats}/min in CDC documentation.
Propose to update the units for heart rate to
{beats}/min to match LOINC and CDC.
