ClinicalImpression or QuestionaireResponse

1

We are looking to bring in

  1. Patient responses to the mental health questionnaire
  2. Assessment scores once the mental health questionnaire

and capture it as FHIR resources.

We have narrowed down following resources

  1. Patient responses to the mental health questionnaire => ClinicalImpression or QuestionaireResponse ( any guidance on which one would be a better fit)
  2. Assessment scores once the mental health questionnaire => Observation

Please advise!

Thank you!

QuestionnaireResponse is often used for capturing raw data. However, you typically extract that information and propagate it into other resources for analysis/comparison/tracking/query. Observation is certainly an appropriate place to put scores. ClinicalImpression captures a bunch of information from a clinician who is assessing various inputs (Observations, QuestionnaireResponses, etc.)
