This profile sets minimum expectations for the Encounter resource to record search and fetch basic encounter information for an individual patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.

This profile sets minimum expectations for the PractitionerRole Resource to record search and fetch the practitioner role for a practitioner to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases. The requirements for the US Core Practitioner were drawn from the [Argonaut Provider Directory](http www.fhir.org guides argonaut pd release1 index.html) [IHE Healthcare Provider Directory](http ihe.net uploadedFiles Documents ITI IHE_ITI_Suppl_HPD.pdf) and the [ONC Provider Directory Workshop](https confluence.oncprojectracking.org display PDW Workshop+Documents).

To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation this profile sets minimum expectations for the QuestionnaireResponse resource to record search and fetch retrieve captures the responses to form survey and assessment tools such as the *Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients’ Assets Risks and Experiences (PRAPARE) Survey*. This profile is based on the [Structured Data Capture (SDC) Questionnaire Response Profile](http hl7.org fhir uv sdc STU3 StructureDefinition-sdc-questionnaireresponse.html) and identifies the *additional* core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.

The US Core Medication Request Profile is based upon the core FHIR MedicationRequest Resource and meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 'Medications' requirements. The MedicationRequest resource can be used to record a patient’s medication prescription or order. This profile sets minimum expectations for the MedicationRequest resource to record search and fetch a patient's medication to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.

The US Core Observation Imaging Result Profile is based upon the core FHIR Observation Resource and along with the US Core DiagnosticReport Profile for Report and Note exchange meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 ‘Diagnostic Imaging’ requirements. To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record search and fetch retrieve structured and unstructured (narrative) components of diagnostic imaging test results for a patient. These observations include reasons findings and impressions. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.

To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation this profile is based on the base [FHIR Vital Signs Profile](http hl7.org fhir R4 observation-vitalsigns.html) and defines *additional* constraints on the Observation resource to represent vital signs observations. It identifies which core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases. This US Core profiles that are derived from this profile are listed below.

To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record search and fetch heart rate observations with a standard LOINC code and UCUM units of measure. It is based on the US Core Vital Signs Profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets which **SHALL** be present in the Observation resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.

The US Core Observation Sexual Orientation Profile meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 'Sexual Orientation' requirements. this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record search and fetch sexual orientation observations associated with a patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.

To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation the US Core Observation Survey Profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation Resource to record search and fetch retrieve observations that represent the questions and responses to form survey and assessment tools. It can be used to represent individual responses panels of multi-question surveys and multi-select responses to “check all that apply” questions. It identifies which core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.

The US Core Condition Encounter Diagnosis Profile is based upon the core FHIR Condition Resource and meets the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) v2 ‘Encounter Diagnosis’ requirements. In version 5.0.0 The US Core Condition Profile has been split into the US Core Condition Encounter Diagnosis Profile and US Core Condition Problems and Health Concerns Profile. To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation this profile defines constraints and extensions on the Condition resource for the minimal set of data to record search and fetch information about an encounter diagnosis. It identifies which core elements extensions vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.
