Topic: FHIR Data

I am looking at FHIR schema to find the correct places to store annual health check document. Initially this will just be pdf but want to store individual column. Anybody have any idea around this? I was initially thinking this can just be recorded at patient but we realize we'd defenitely want to digitize these data.

annual health check is quite a lot of data - will span many resources. Typically, Observation, Condition, maybe MedicationStatement, maybe QuestionnaireResponse. Probably with a Composition to link everything together.
Alternatively, if it's just a PDF, then a DocumentReference.
But all this very much depends....

Thanks @Grahame Grieve
I see. Much more complicated than I was thinking.

life often (usually?) is. We try to make FHIR as simple as we can, and the reason we try so hard is because health information is fiendishly complicated all on it's own
