I have created a new logical model using Forge and the structuredefinition is created in the fhir cdr. How can I insert data into that resource?

Hi @Sanjay Karmakar, FHIR does not support the creation of instances of a Logical Model. A logical model represents an abstract concept that never appears "on the wire". You have to map the model to one or more concrete (clinical) FHIR resources that describe the actual data exchange.

@Michel Rutten Thanks for your guidance. Is there any way that you can guide me with some example on how to map a logical model with actual fhir resources? Any pointer will be really helpful.

Hi @Sanjay Karmakar, I'd suggest to start reading up on StructureMap and FHIR mapping language:
http://hl7.org/fhir/structuremap.html
http://hl7.org/fhir/mapping-language.html
I don't have any personal experience with creating/mapping logical models, but I'm sure the FHIR Zulip community can help you out.

A good place to go for FHIR mapping language examples is the R2 conversion tab on many of the resources. The following is the link to the R2 conversion for Observation: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/2018May/observation-version-maps.html.
