Question about http://hl7.org/fhir/2020Feb/conditiondefinition.html - this has 3 fields like "severity" that are 0..1, and have a "hasSeverity" boolean field. Is that just whether or not the "severity" is present? seems somewhat redundant, what's the purpose there?
Grahame Grieve (Jan 21 2020 at 23:33):
this is a very draft resource. The intent is to allow a system to share definitions of conditions that patients may be associated with. The condition may have, by it's very definition, a severity. or, a severity may be associated with it when it's associated with the patient. Or, maybe, severity is just not an applicable concept for the condition
Nick George (Jan 21 2020 at 23:42):
so in other words, it's not always the case that (pseudo fhirpath) "hasSeverity == (severity.size() == 1)" ?
Grahame Grieve (Jan 21 2020 at 23:50):
right.
