Topic: Vital signs effectiveTime

The FHIR Vital Signs Profiles observation.effectiveTime element has this constraint - vs-1: if Observation.effective[x] is dateTime and has a value then that value shall be precise to the day. If the dateTime element is limited to day precision, how is timing of vital signs that may vary between readings based on time (for example measurements that are taken x mins apart such as orthostatic BP) communicated if precision is limited to day only?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 27 2020 at 16:53):
I suspect the intention was that they should at minimum be precise to the day. @Michelle (Moseman) Miller ?
Eric Haas (Apr 27 2020 at 19:44):
yes

fhirpath is ($this as dateTime).toString().length() >= 8 . submitted a tracker to clarify
Theo Stolker (Jun 25 2021 at 12:21):
The vs-1 validation fails for an vital sign with an effectivePeriod. We expect that this is a bug. Can this be fixed by a conditional expression?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 25 2021 at 13:45):
Agree. The current expression fails when it's not a dateTime. @Eric Haas is this on your list to fix?
Yunwei Wang (Jun 25 2021 at 14:36):
There are two trackers FHIR-29654, FHIR-26964
