Comments
A number of FHIR resources can be represented as Documents (compositions), but are represented as specifically designed static information structures.
Examples are: Care Plan, Family History, Diagnostic Report, and various billing claim forms.
This presents a interesting challenge to implementers, do you use a general model or a specific model?
I think there is an underlying architectural issue that needs to be considered as more and more resources are developed.
HL7 V2.x did not create these kinds of specialized structures, however V3 did and as a result created +1,000 schemas. FHIR needs to determine how it will limit the development of one off resources, or will likely have 500-800 models, each with unique modeling and application development requirements.
Grahame's Comments
This is an ongoing question that all the design and management leads keep a close eye on.

Disposition Comment
Some of the claims resources are under review. CarePlan, FamilyHistory, etc. are major structures and were always planned to be in the set of resources when the initial 100-150 resource estimate was first originated.
