Topic: Bundle of PDF Documents

Hello,
I need to generate a Bundle of PDF Documents (discharge summary) for a Patient.
On the user interface, the metadatas of the documents will be shown on a board and the user will be able to click a button which will show him the PDF.
On the FHIR side I thought about creating 2 separates process. One will generate the metadatas and the other one will only generate the PDF.
For the first part (metadatas) :
A bundle of DocumentReference's will be generated plus an include to an Encounter (which will contain a Location resource).
For the second part (PDF) :
A Binary resource which will contain the PDF document itself.
The idea behind the separation of the components is too lighten the weight of the JSON response.
What do you think of that architecture ? Is it viable ?

That is perfect. It is exactly what IHE has profiled (MHD). You have the consumption side of MHD, which is legitimate subset. http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Mobile_access_to_Health_Documents_(MHD)
