      Comment:

      The FHIR Observation resource is used to represent a mixed-bag of information types, a few of which don?t fit the main purpose of observation, e.g., predicted impact. The latter is not an observation rather a result of some biomedical advanced analysis. FHIR observation is defined as ?Measurements and simple assertions? ? an interpretation of genomics observations is definitely not a measurement and not simple assertion by all means. Also, the Observation resource has an ?interpretation? attribute, which adds to the confusion (the latter is for simple interpretations such as abnormal level of glucose level).
