Definition
This panel was created to collect the set of vital sign observations that was orginally defined by HL7 and called the "Vital Sign Result Type Value Set" in the HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA R2: IHE Health Story Consolidation, DSTU R1.1 (also know as Consolidated CDA), but it is not limited for use in that context. This HL7 implementation guide is the one named in the "Meaningful Use Stage 2" regulations in the United States. This collection includes the standard vital sign measurements (heart and respiratory rate, blood pressure and body temperature) along with measurements for height, weight, head circumference (OFC), oximetry, body mass index (BMI), and body surface area (BSA).
