Hi All,
We want to use image attachment for Organization resource. Shall we create an extension for Organization resource.
Can anyone suggest me?
Thanks in advance.

What sort of image are you storing? An extension would be reasonable for a logo or something like that.

Thank you @Lloyd McKenzie . We are planning to add an extension for attaching Hospital image.

Ok. That sounds slightly more appropriate for Location than Organization, but you can put it on Organization if they have a 1..1 relationship. If you wanted to submit a change request for the creation of a standard extension, that wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea. However, you're free to define your own extension if you prefer.

Thank you @Lloyd McKenzie

The company logo would be appropriate for the org, and a photo of the hospital on the location resource.

Similar - in a way... A provider wants to have a logo print based on their location for the day (etc.). The media resource supports location as a subject, and maybe include note as a tag of logo? We want to easily find the logo for the provider and send the provider with the associated logo in a bundle and wondering if anyone has done this...
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 05 2020 at 21:24):
That's not something I've heard of. What's the purpose of having a location-based logo? Is logo the right word?
Daniel Lanphear (Mar 05 2020 at 22:25):
Yes it's really more of a letterhead, so the provider can print off patient notes and have the location logo show up
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 06 2020 at 00:01):
It seems more natural to have an extension on the PractitionerRole's link to a particular HealthCareService that indicates that they're "in" today. The logo could be an extension on (either an attachment or a reference to Media) for the logo. You wouldn't really want a separate copy of the logo stored for each provider for each day, which is what you'd end up with in using just Media.
