| Concept | Vital signs |
| Description | A group of observations that are recorded at the same time and record the blood pressure, pulse, temperature and other readings |
| Use | An organisational heading for vital signs |
| Misuse | Does not need to be used to record these entries separately |
| Purpose | A heading or section which can only contain observations considered to be vital signs. This group of observations is a common set in medicine, and while these often occur separately in health records, when they are measured together this is a significant assessment of wellbeing. |
