How to fill a questionnaireresponse of a questionnaire with a group question with repeats: true?

Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 13 2020 at 18:16):

A group isn't a question. In the QuestionnaireResponse, you'd have 0..* items with the same linkId as the 'group' in the parent Questionnaire. Each repetition would contain child items corresponding to the answers to the questions for that group repetition. For example, if you had a group for 'active medication', you'd have one repetition of the group for each medication and child questions for each question about the medication (name, dose, prescriber, notes, etc.)

Thanks for response.
Another doubt, given this questionnaire:

name: Family History
item:
  - linkId: date
    type: date
  - linkId: member-history
    text: Family Member
    repeats: true
    type: group
    item:
      - linkId: member-name
        type: string
      - linkId: member-condition
        type: open-choice

We analyzed two ways for this case:

item:
  - linkId: date
    answer:
      - valueDate: 2020-04-09
  - linkId: member-history
    item:
      - linkId: member-name
        answer:
          - valueString: John
      - linkId: member-condition
        answer:
          - valueString: Heart disease
  - linkId: member-history
    item:
      - linkId: member-name
        answer:
          - valueString: Jane
      - linkId: member-condition
        answer:
          - valueString: hypertension

item:
  - linkId: date
    answer:
      - valueDate: 2020-04-09
  - linkId: member-history
    item:
      - linkId: member-history
        item:
          - linkId: member-name
            answer:
              - valueString: John
          - linkId: member-condition
            answer:
              - valueString: Heart disease
      - linkId: member-history
        item:
          - linkId: member-name
            answer:
              - valueString: Jane
          - linkId: member-condition
            answer:
          - valueString: hypertension

We believe the second one easier to implement because both, the questionnaire and the response, has the same items cardinality.

I'm not familiar with the syntax you're using. However, I believe the first is correct. You'd have two group repetitions, both with linkId=member-history

YML (easy to read and edit version of JSON)

(I beg to differ on the easy part :wink: )
