Do we have a canonical way of expressing health events? Say like child's first crawl or progress of a persons' ability to walk after an accident.
Am not sure if those are simple observations.

what makes you hesitate on observations?

I was hoping I could follow-up with this question. There isn't an officially standardized coding system for developmental milestones in pediatrics. But there is recently a group that has compiled and index here: https://idob.info/observations/, based on this paper (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6731149/). It would need some work, but do you think it would look something like this?
"resourceType": "Observation",

Although one of my concerns regards the codes. The Loinc code, as I understand it, is only supposed to be used for PEDS:DM. And the Snomed code I think is for abnormal findings, not just standard development.
