Stan and his team approached me recently to understand our approach to modelling ‘Anatomical location’ so that they could provide input to the FHIR work. This triggered the [Anatomical location thread](https://discourse.openehr.org/t/anatomical-location/677) after I couldn’t explain to them the use of ‘bilateral’ within the current scope.

They had additional advanced use cases including the location of a breast lump in 3D in a patient lying prone or with the breast compressed in a mammogram, especially if they needed to clearly distinguish one particular lump from others. We haven’t modelled this explicitly yet, so something else to consider for future work.

The circle keeps going around and around… Personally I love that we can all learn from each other and that we are willing to drop the egos/pride and are willing to do so. We will all benefit.

Regards

Heather
