Description
A vital signs observation is a simple observation that uses a specific vocabulary, and inherits constraints from CCD. Note: Although interpretationCode, methodCode and targetSiteCode are foreseen by the parent template, and initially introduced also in the epSOS template, they are not supposed to be actually used in this version since they were not included in the functional specifications and therefore not validated from a functional point of view. Those element have been retained as optional elements, without vocabulary binding defined, only for future consideration.
