FHIR Questionnaire Format - Adding Content References

This article contains information on how and where content references, including update notes can be captured for FHIR Questionnaire applications.

Purpose of Content References in relation to FHIR Questionnaire

Owners of medical guidelines may want to communicate two types of information in support of their FHIR questionnaire formatted guideline

1. footnotes associated with various "levels" of the protocol (relating to a word, diagnostic question, treatment option, or larger texts including Principles or Guideline Board members, etc.)
2. updates made to the guideline (what changed, and why)

When modelling medical guidelines. Designer Users can create both these types of notes as content references, associated with a node, answer option, logicnet or project, and organized within folders relevant for the version, year, etc.

Please see the detailed document attached for an example approach to documenting changes (at logicnet, node and option level) and the resulting impact on the FHIR export (downloadable from the top of this article).
