I wanted to ask what the preferred way to group questionnaires together was. For instance, if I'm seeing a teenager for a clinic visit. Every time a teenager visits the clinic, we should ask them to complete the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and a trauma questionnaire. However, if, say, a toddler comes in, maybe I want to do a developmental screen for the child, and the PHQ-9 for the parent. So in all here, I have 4 questionnaire resources.

  1. PHQ-9
  2. GAD-7
  3. Trauma Questionnaire
  4. Developmental Screen
    I want to be able to have a single resource that references the others:

  5. Questionnaires for 3 months old (would reference Developmental Screen and PHQ-9)

  6. Questionnaires for teenagers (would reference PHQ-9, GAD-7 and Trauma questionnaire)

I could put together a list resource that contains them all, or a bundle, or a group, I guess. Or something else maybe? What is the prevailing wisdom for how to do this?

Maybe a CarePlan with a few ServiceRequests to fill the Questionnaires?

Can you explain the purpose of the grouping? What behavior is a questionnaire (or questionnaireResponse) being in the group vs. not going to drive?

It would be to define a group of questionnaires for a certain kind of visit, or for a certain age, for instance. So everytime a child has their 1 year well child visit, this group of questionnaires should be given. Or, for a transplant workup, you need to ask this set of questionnaires. Or if a patient is new to your clinic, they need to complete this set of questionnaires.

And since you may want to use the same questionnaire in more than one type of visit, or you may add or remove questionnaires to a certain type of visit, it would be nice if you could define a questionnaire, and then specify when it would be used, and which other questionnaires would be used with it in that particular case.

If the intention is to say "these forms should be filled out in these circumstances", that's a type of protocol, and the resource to use would be PlanDefinition. That would allow you to define the set, as well as any pre-conditions on the asking of each one, any dependencies in terms of which should be completed first, which are optional vs. required, etc.

Aha! I think that's what I was looking for, thanks!
