Hi all, I made the following JIRA about the genomics report.
https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-36204
Currently DiagnosticReport.presentedForm is an Attachment. Would it be better to be a DocumentReference?

Hey Aly - Sorry I wasn't clear enough in our side chat. This request is not for the Genomics Reporting IG, the specification should be FHIR Core, and will need to go to the Orders and Observations WorkGroup.
Kevin Power (Mar 04 2022 at 14:59):
I will triage it to O&O right now.
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 04 2022 at 15:01):
Attachment.url could point to a DocumentReference or Binary. The intention is very much to allow the presented form to be embedded, so the model as structured is correct.

Thanks and sorry, I'm still not used to JIRA

Got it, It was a misunderstanding from myside

If Attachment.url can point to a DocumentReference, and DocumentReference.content.attachment can point to an Attachment, is this considered a cyclic reference?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 04 2022 at 15:16):
DocumentRefrence.content.attachment can't point to an attachment. It can point to a Binary or to a non-FHIR location.
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 04 2022 at 15:16):
It's possible to create a DocumentReference whose content.attachment.url points to itself. That might be a fun thing to do during system testing, but otherwise it's probably a bad idea :)

Thanks, I got it :smile:

this is true of everything

I think this Lloyd character might have a good future in QA. :wink:
