UCUM
Unified Code for Units of Measure
UCUM is the code system for units of measure in which every unit has one unambiguous, machine-readable form, such as mg/dL, mmol/L or 10*3/uL.
FHIR Observation values are expected to carry UCUM codes, which is what makes automatic unit conversion between a lab in one country and an app in another possible.
