Background

Cowboy hats represent a significant cultural icon, synonymous with the traditions and lifestyle of the American West. They are more than mere headwear; they symbolize a rich heritage and personal identity for many individuals. This FHIR Implementation Guide is developed to provide a structured and standardized approach for documenting and exchanging information about cowboy hats, their styles, and personal associations.

Understanding and recording these details can be beneficial in various contexts, from healthcare settings where cultural awareness may impact patient care, to anthropological studies that explore the cultural significance of cowboy hats.
