Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

  • The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Observation.code.coding
  • The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Observation.component.code.coding
  • The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Observation.component.value[x]
  • The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Observation.component.valueCodeableConcept.coding
