Can observations resource be returned as an array of multiple observations?
Also , Is it possible to extend the ValueSampleData to include more custom fields ?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jan 03 2019 at 23:22):
An Observation can have a value of type SampledData which allows for multiple values captured over time to be required and in some cases it's possible to have multiple components in an Observation (see discussion earlier today here: https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179166-implementers/subject/variable.20value.20and.20percentage.20in.20component). However in general if you want to send multiple Observations, each must be a separate resource instance. You might look at the Batch or Transaction operation if there's a need to submit muliple observations simultaneously. And of course, a query response can always return multiple observations in a Bundle.

I’d take a look at Bundles as Lloyd mentioned. https://www.hl7.org/fhir/bundle.html
