      We developed a branch to propose removing the Grouper profile.

      • Remove the Grouper profile
      • Provide guidance so that implementers will be aware of the ways Observations might be generically grouped
      • Provide visuals to help support the guidance
      • Update the PGx guidance to match up with the new guidance
      • Update current examples that use Grouper, and provide additional examples

    Description

      Currently, "Grouper" is fixed to a TBD code. Should a generic "Genomics Group" (or Block?) LOINC code be created? It should be left as an arbitrary meaning, as to not imply any meaning beyond organizing groups of genomic observations.

      Connecting to an established coding system, such as LOINC, will be more helpful for long term interoperability.
