Topic: QuestionnaireResponse Answer query.

I notice the base profile doesn't indicate how a consumer might query based on an answer to a particular question. Curious if this has received any discussion or if someone has implemented a solution.
Grahame Grieve (Oct 11 2016 at 19:10):
I don't recall it being discussed
Brian Postlethwaite (Oct 11 2016 at 21:53):
None that I'm aware of either.
Eric Haas (Oct 11 2016 at 23:56):
I always thought each question and answer should be a resource you could mix and match to make questionnaires and search individual answers. But then it probably gets too unwieldy.
Brian Postlethwaite (Oct 12 2016 at 01:20):
Sounds more like an observation then.
Brian Postlethwaite (Oct 12 2016 at 01:22):
@Peter Bernhardt, did you mean that you want an individual answer back, or the set of QuestionnaireResponses that have included that answer to a specific question?
Lloyd McKenzie (Oct 14 2016 at 03:49):
It's been discussed. The general perspective is that Questionnaire is for raw capture, but not for retrieval/analysis. General expectation is that if you want to analysis/filtering/query, you migrate the data into the appropriate resource type (Observation, MedicationStatement, FamilyHistory, whatever). Querying by questions is actually quite tricky because you may care about the context of other questions to filter and it gets ugly pretty fast. You can always define custom search criteria if you really need the functionality
