US Core Observation Screening Assessment Profile
US Core Simple Observation Profile -
Description
If an EMR collects {sdoh, functional status, cognitive status, disability status} observations, does that imply that they must expose that data using the appropriate us core observation categories (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/2023Jan/CodeSystem-us-core-category.html)? Or are they only obligated to categorize them in some way? The profile pages do not provide clear guidance, and in fact indicate that “data categorization is somewhat subjective. The categorization applied by the source may not align with the client’s expectations.” Request that clarification be provided on when and how sources are required to use these categories.
