description	This profile contains Required and Must Support data elements for reporting observation information to the NHSN Acute Care Hospital (ACH) Monthly Digital Quality Measure. This profile is based on the [HL7 FHIR® R4 Observation Resource v4.0.1](http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU3.1.1/StructureDefinition-us-core-observation-lab.html).	This profile contains Required and Must Support data elements for reporting observation information to the NHSN Acute Care Hospital (ACH) Monthly Digital Quality Measure. This profile inherits from the QI Core 6.0.0 [Simple Observation](https://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU6/StructureDefinition-qicore-simple-observation.html) profile, which inherits from the US Core 6.1.0 [Simple Observation](https://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU6.1/StructureDefinition-us-core-simple-observation.html) profile.
