      Proposed motion to find not persuasive as with other request resources where supportingInfo is used that the information may influence the fulfillment.  Whether the information is attached or not, and therefore pulled later or not, it would still be used to further inform the fulfillment.

    Description

      supportingInfo never qualifies what is being ordered. It provides additional information that may be used in fulfillment of the order - e.g. recent labs, clinical gender, height, weight, etc. If the supportingInformation were all yanked out, it wouldn't change the nature of the order at all - it would just require the filler to query the patient's record if there was additional patient information needed. If there's a need to qualify the order, that needs to be done in another element (e.g. add a bodySite element.)
