The US Core Observation Screening Assessment and Simple Observation and ServiceRequest profiles have an Observation.category slice names us-core that includes domain category options (including sdoh, functional status, etc.). The US Core Condition Problems and Health Concerns Profile defines a specific slice for the singular sdoh domain. It does not have the similar “domain” category. It seems a Condition should just as easily have similar domain categories (functional status, cognitive status. Etc.).

These are different patterns without an obviously clear reason as to why this is. Please consider instrumenting a similar pattern.

(One note is that the current slicing of Condition requires that systems must support a sdoh repetition. Changing to a domain level slice with a VS binding, would not require systems support a sdoh repetition unless otherwise specified. This should be taken into consideration.)
