FHIR Examples For Driving FHIR Ontology Development
To coordinate and speed our efforts, it will be helpful to choose some initial FHIR examples that we can use to drive our FHIR ontology development effort. This would not be to the exclusion of other examples, but merely to act as a common starting point, such as a very simple clinical resource. We will eventually need to use a variety of examples that exercise different features.

Comments:
- (DBooth) This example is small (which is good), but not ideal because: (a) it is only moderately medically oriented -- body weight is used in many non-medical settings; and (b) body weight is an emotionally charged sensitive topic to many people, which is not so good for slide presentations.
Clinical / Observation: Blood Pressure

Comments:
- (DBooth) This example would be excellent for slide use if it were smaller. Although this example is for a single blood pressure measurement pair (107/60), it is very bloated because it duplicates the information. First it has an Observation that includes both systolic and diastolic values (107/60), but only in human-readable free text -- not in structured data suitable for machine processing. Then it has two more Observations, one for systolic and one for diastolic, which each contain both a human-oriented description in free text and the values in structured data. Could another version be made that is much smaller?
