      FDA suggests continuing with the current, detailed design approach
      "Feedback on the design approach for representing specific systems (e.g., specific cancer staging systems and performance scales). For example, currently, there are two abstract profiles for Cancer Stage and Cancer Risk Assessment, with 8 additional profiles for specific staging systems and risk assessments that use the abstract profiles as the parent. The advantage of these tailored profiles help ensure more consistent communication of this data by providing detailed guidance on the FHIR representation of the data from these assessments. However, this specificity comes at the expense of the lack of scalability of the approach, since a vast proliferation of profiles would be required to represent all cancer stage systems and risk assessments currently in use.
