Finnish PHR Distance Profile

Finnish PHR profile for FHIR® Observation used in measurements of distance reached. Either the amount of distance reached in 24 hours or in one week can be stored using this profile.

The profile is based on the Finnish PHR Fitness Base profile. This profile alone does not describe all the elements needed and most of the elements are visible only in base profile. This profile describes changes to the base profile and the implementers must also familiarize himself with the base profile.

A full list of the extensions, constraints and a structured definition of this profile can be found in Simplifier. There are also different views of the profile (details, mappings, table, XML, JSON).

The Finnish PHR Distance Profile constrains the Finnish PHR Fitness Base Profile as follows:
