When it comes to the conversion of CDA to FHIR I've mostly seen the high level best practices (header level mapping, map templates to FHIR profiles). If we dirill down one level, when actually doing the conversion of a level 3 template to FHIR, what would the best practices (or challenges) be ?

@René Spronk: I am using the FHIR Mapping Language for the conversion CDA to FHIR, I have it working for the Swiss Medication card document which is a specialization of the IHE Pharmacy PML document. The map itself is quite small (217 lines, https://github.com/ahdis/cda-core-2.0/blob/develop/maps/CDAMedicationCardDocument.map) using the base CDA to FHIR mapping provided from the CCDA to FHIR project. I am currently working on the other medication documents (IHE Pharmacy MTP, PRE, DIS, PADV), so far I have not seen too many challenges, however its far from beeing considered best practice.
