Once in the agreed human representation, and once in a coded form. Both is best, since it's not always possible to infer one from the other in code. When a computable unit is provided, UCUM (http://unitsofmeasure.org) is always preferred, but it doesn't provide notional units (such as &quot;tablet&quot;), etc. For these, something else is required (e.g. Snomed-CT) --> </Observation> JSON Simple Weight Example { "resourceType": "Observation", "text": { "status": "generated", "div": "<div>Jan 30 2014: Body Weight = 185 lbs</div>" }, "name": { "coding": [ { "system": "http://loinc.org", "code": "3141-9", "display": "Weight Measured" }, { "system": "http://snomed.info/sct", "code": "27113001", "display": "Body weight" }, { "system": "http://acme.org/devices/clinical-codes", "code": "body-weight", "display": "Body Weight" } ] }, "valueQuantity": { "value": 185, "units": "lbs", "system": "http://unitsofmeasure.org", "code": "[lb_av]" }, "status": "final", "reliability": "ok" } © HL7.org 2011+.
