Clinical Information Modeling Initiative Vital Signs Implementation Guide(IG)

Background

The Clinical Information Modeling Initiative created this implementation guide to promote the use and adoption of a set of logical data structures and panels, represented as FHIR profiles for vital signs. The CIMI Vital Signs Panel includes height, body length, weight, blood pressure, body tempoerature, head circumference, body mass index, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen staturation in arterial blood by pulse oximetry (SPO2). More background to be added later.

Overview

This is a preliminary implementation guide created by Clinical Information Modeling Initiative (CIMI) for Vital Signs. This publication is intended to facilitate discussion about the content and design for these models.
