Hi all, how can I capture 'body site' (Structure of right upper quadrant of abdomen, right lower quadrant , left upper quadrant, left lower quadrant, Epigastric and hypogastric region) for the component named 'tenderness' (Observation.component) in Abdomen Observation? Thank you

can you clarify? I can imagine a code:value pair representing the concept of abdominal tenderness and a c the concept of bodysite location represented by Observation.bodysite. It sound like you want to nest a component within a component which is not possible ( unless you create an extension)

If you have something like this
Observation.code = "observation of abdomen" Observation.component.code = "tenderness" Observation.component.valueCodeableConcept = "very"
you would need to add an extension to Observation.component.
Or not use Observation.component, and have whole observation just for abdominal tenderness.
