Minimal vs maximal data set in a logical model #11

Open rlindstrm opened 3 weeks ago

rlindstrm commented 3 weeks ago

We have a requirement to somehow communicate which data elements are more critical than others.

Exercises we've done so far have shown that there is no clear distinction - all elements are critical for something, almost no elements are critical for every use case (due to being able to communicate further details through references to outside sources). Still, we have some models that can be of very different granularity (Medication, Dosaging), and we need to find a way how to balance between minimum and maximum, and if we should somehow align with what's supported by FHIR out of the box.

1) What is the granularity to go for in the model 2) How to communicate what the must-suppport-core is? MS flag, textual guidance, something else?

I propose to start with maximal model (capture all business requirements for a particular structure) and then add text description for different use cases - especially for EHR systems.

I've applied the max (within reasonable) approach for Dosaging and Medication.
