Topic: Patient description
Nikolaos Alexandros Kaloumenos (Oct 08 2017 at 20:58):
Hi all,
Let's say I ask a patient to describe his symptoms, or how he feels today, or where the pain is coming from.
What FHIR resource suits best a patient description? Is it the QuestionnaireResponse appropriate storing the question as well as the answer I got back or there is something else I should use?
Thanks a lot

You can certainly use QuestionnaireResponse as an information capture tool, but that sort of data should eventually wind its way to Observation - it's a point-in-time descriptive assertion.

Or Condition for Chief Complaint o as a problem list Item.
