      question around naming – in carePlan resource they use instantiatesCanonical – should we use instantiates better than definition – so the element then will be observation.instantiates.

      the element will be named instantiates[x]

    Description

      Use case:

      An instance of Observation may be derived from an ObservationDefinition. In that case it should make this fact explicit by referencing the instance of ObservationDefinition it conforms to.

      Request:

      Add this element:

      definition[x]   0..1           the reference to the definition of this observation

      • definitionCanonical         canonical(ObservationDefinition) 
      • definitionReference         Reference(ObservationDefinition)

      (ObservationDefinition is a MetadataResource, hence the choice between canonical and Reference).
