Is anyone implementing Observations where the observation value is a PDF. In v2 we use ED as the datatype in OBX.2 and put the PDF in OBX.5. What is the equivalent implementation in FHIR?

The observation value can be in the derivedFrom element which contains a DocumentReference that points to the PDF but it's far better to attach the values directly rather than requesting the recipient to have to review a pdf.

Observation.valueAttachment

MAybe I"m missing something but I'm not seeing valueAttachment in the value[x] list

It's added in R5
David Pyke (Sep 03 2020 at 18:47):
That would explain it, I was looking at R4
Michele Mottini (Sep 03 2020 at 18:55):
DSTU2 and STU3 support it as well

In R4, the recommendation was to use Media, but that wasn't popular.

I think you can use an "R5" backport extension. forgetting the details right now

are you sure it's not a DiagnosticReport?
