Hello,
If we like to work with multiple tenants and we have one single endpoint for our FHIR Store.
Should we extend the DomainResource with a tenant element with type id, so that each tenant is offered a special part of the application with its own FHIR resources, configuration and management.
Or are there other solutions to get this done?
Regards,
Bernard

Extending resources means you'll no longer be FHIR conformant. Typical behavior is to use Resource.meta.tag and/or a Resource.id convention to distinguish tenants. Resource.meta.extension could also be a viable option.

Keep in mind that receiving systems might not store tags or extensions you provide, so a purely id-based solution might be best.
