    Description

      As highlighted in the attached test reports, we include textual findings/interpretations and recommendations in a genetic report. For the eMERGE reports, while mapping to draft CG IG spec, these textual interpretations span multiple FHIR Observation profiles in our implemention e.g. Referencing file "highlighted..." test report, text highlighted in grey and yellow would be a fit for general profiles like obs-overall and obs-inh-dis-path; text highlighted in green would be a fit for PGx profiles and the recommendations text highlighted in blue is a recommendation for the provider but not exactly a recommended action; it would be up to the provider to decide on the recommended action.

      Considering the need for including this kind of interpretative/summary text (this is not the same as the "text" narrative element) spans multiple Observation resources, it would be very helpful if Interpretation Text and Recommendations were added as Narrative or String elements to the obs-base resource itself.
