There are 158 resources you can choose from in the (R5) #FHIR specification, like Patient, Organization, Observation, etc. That's a relatively constrained set, considering its wide usage.
Only rarely a new one is added, but two weeks ago the FMG approved the exploration of two new resources! ✨
🧬 One is #MolecularDefinition from the #ClinicalGenomics working group: https://confluence.hl7.org/spaces/FHIR/pages/281283028/MolecularDefinition
It is intended to represent genetic data for clinical use, focusing on computable structures. It supports genomic testing and integrates with Observation and Genomic Study resources.
💑 The second is #PersonalRelationship from the #PatientAdministration working group: https://confluence.hl7.org/spaces/FHIR/pages/308976444/PersonalRelationship+Fhir+Resource+Proposal
This one aims to represent interpersonal relationships, such as familial, social, and long-term commitments. It supports use cases like public health and social care.
