Topic: Organizations

We have a business requirement to display logos for organizations. The EHR stores these as (private) image files, which are associated with the resources, but there doesn't appear to be a place to put them in FHIR (and maybe there shouldn't be). However, we were thinking of adding a logoReference extension to Organization which points to a Media resource (which will contain the image files as attachments).
Does this seem sane? Is it an appropriate use of Media?

seems reasonable to me

This seems reasonable to me also, however you could also consider using the attachment in the actual extension on the organization (the binary portion could either be inline, a reference to a url, or a binary resource on the server) rather than via the Media resource.
What extra would you like to use from the Media resource that isn't in attachment?

(This would then be more consistent with the approach used on Patient and Practitioner for the same purpose.
Brian Postlethwaite (Jun 18 2016 at 11:43):
I'd be happy if you logged a tracker item for this to propose a standard extension, as I'm sure this wouldn't be uncommon.
