Description
Please Consider adding an optional element or core extension that could hold the patients awareness of a certain result or condition. The available value set is https://terminology.hl7.org/2.1.0/ValueSet-v3-TargetAwareness.html from code system TargetAwareness (2.16.840.1.113883.5.137) listed here: https://terminology.hl7.org/1.0.0/CodeSystem-v3-CodeSystem.html. CDA has the ability to do this and I know of at least one vendor who uses it inside (referring to) a result.;

I believe this would be appropriate for all Clinical and Diagnostic Resources.
