We're looking at a "Tumor Dimensions" observation, which has "Greatest Dimension" as well as "Additional Dimensions" in the form of ___ x ___ cm. Three observations for this seems like serious overkill. How would you recommend profiling this?

Hi Harold. All of the Cancer models I've looked at have the additional dimensions as a discrete observable with a length in mm/cm. I don't think there is any escaping this.

You could model it with components

For an example profile on Observation using components, see https://hl7-fhir.github.io/bp.html

Thanks -- missed the components. Thanks!
