Topic: Link to BodyStructure from Condition
Alejandro Metke (Jul 30 2019 at 04:46):
I am currently working on a cancer model that allows tracking tumors. According to previous conversations in this channel, the BodyStructure resource seems to be the right choice to represent the tumors. However, the Condition resource only has a bodySite attribute of type CodeableConcept. Should this be updated to be a bodySite[x] that also allows referencing BodyStructure resources? I am currently using an extension but was wondering if there might be another way of representing this relationship that I might have missed.Link to BodyStructure from Condition resource

@Alejandro Metke
The extension bodySite can be added to any element.
Extend Condition.bodySite with extension-bodysite and that will allow Condition.bodySite to be completed with a CodeableConcept or a reference to BodySite or both.

Fantastic, that's exactly what I was after. Thanks @Richard Townley-O'Neill .
