DocumentReference Observation with g3t add - discussion point. #85

Open teslajoy opened 3 weeks ago

teslajoy commented 3 weeks ago

Files generated from laboratory machines, for example sequencing machines, or imaging cores where their input information is a Specimen (or Group of specimens) will generate metadata that can be captured via FHIR Observation entity with focus referencing DocumentReference, specimen referencing input Specimen or Group of specimens, and subject referencing Patient.

The use-case of an observation with focus DocumentReference also applies to further downstream analyses files that are generated from the initial output file(s).

In this case, g3t add may be able to handle associated Observation metadata as a list of ObservationComponent if:

  1. The required observation code is defined based on the user’s project
  2. Metadata location and it’s association to file are deterministic.
