Topic: FHIR resource to represent a Document

Vamsi Krishna Rajulapati (Aug 10 2018 at 06:35):

Hi, Could you please suggest the appropriate FHIR resource to represent a Document. We have 3 FHIR resources available: Composition(https://www.hl7.org/fhir/composition.html), DocumentManifest(https://www.hl7.org/fhir/documentmanifest.html) and DocumentReference (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/documentreference.html). We are assuming DocumentReference is appropriate based on scope and usage. As part of our requirement we need to represent the RTF Document content (simple plain text) in a FHIR resource. Thank you.

For an RTF - with metadata, use DocumentReference.

Thanks @Lloyd McKenzie . Can you also suggest me the attribute to map the content.

DocumentReference.content.attachment.data

Thanks @Lloyd McKenzie for your prompt response. I will make use of the DocumentReference FHIR resource.
