I am primarily interested in seeing how an  FHIR  might be used to represent 
clinical research and specifically how  a FHIR RFD representation could be used 
with the CDISC RFD representation being developed.  My use case is a bit 
removed from the overall focus of this group, but with that noted, I would be 
interested in seeing the resources Patient, AdverseReaction (in clinical 
research this would normally not be associated with AllergyIntolerance 
Substance as it is in FHIR), and medication developed. (It appears the 
medication resource uses the substance resource to represent the actual 
ingredients of a medication and I think this would be interesting case given 
the FDA's move towards the new IDMP standard that uses ISO 11615 (as does the 
medication resource) as well as the unii standard. In contrast, I believe most 
EHR's use RXNorm which I believe also uses unii but not ISO 11615(I would need 
to confirm that, however). 

Additionally, Given that clinical research and medical records overlap in some  
fields, but have other fields that are critical in one type of record but not 
the other, having these resources mapped could also be a good fit for what (I 
think) the validation group is seeking to do.

Thanks,
Ingeborg
