Topic: Send only systolic blood pressure
Ludvig Eek Hofmann (May 06 2020 at 12:23):
We are implementing the standard profiles for vital signs and blood pressure. Regarding the core profile for blood pressure (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/bp.html) Is it possible to send only the systolic blood pressure and not booth the systolic and diastolic at the same time. How is that done?
The cardinality for components are 2..*. We can see that component.diastolicBP.value is optional. Is that what you should do? Leave the value blank?

Observations that consist of more than one value... like Blood pressure you can send them as one using component or use two observations and reference them.
I think it is better to get them in one XML file so I'd go for the component option.

there is an example in the core specification here: http://build.fhir.org/observation-example-bloodpressure-dar.html

The data can be captured and shared in two ways - if querying, you'll want to search for both approaches.
