      We will add the following to the end of Boundaries and Relationships section of ObservationDefinition:

      ObservationDefinitions are only to be used when describing the contents of an observation (including observations in order catalogs or panels). When additional structure, sequence, or rules are needed, the Questionnaire resource should be used.

    Description

      The SDC project has had some questions about when to use ObservationDefinition vs. Questionnaire.  We've added an explanation into the Questionnaire 'Boundaries and Relationships' section.  We suggest that OO add some similar language into the same section for ObservationDefinition
