    2. Bundle.meta
    Definition

    The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

    ShortMetadata about the resource
    Control10..1
    TypeMeta
    Is Modifierfalse
    Must Supporttrue
    Summarytrue
    Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
    4. Bundle.meta.source
    Definition

    A uri that identifies the source system of the resource. This provides a minimal amount of Provenance information that can be used to track or differentiate the source of information in the resource. The source may identify another FHIR server, document, message, database, etc.

    ShortIdentifies where the resource comes from
    Comments

    The exact use of the source (and the possible implied Provenance.entity.role and agent.role) is left to implementer discretion. Only one nominated source is allowed; for additional provenance details, a full Provenance resource should be used. The source may correspond to Provenance.entity.what[x] or Provenance.agent.who[x], though it may be a more general or abstract reference.

    This element can be used to indicate where the current master source of a resource that has a canonical URL if the resource is no longer hosted at the canonical URL.

    6. Bundle.meta.profile
    Definition

    A list of profiles (references to StructureDefinition resources) that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to StructureDefinition.url.

    ShortProfiles this resource claims to conform to
    Comments

    It is up to the server and/or other infrastructure of policy to determine whether/how these claims are verified and/or updated over time. The list of profile URLs is a set.

    Control10..*
    Typecanonical(StructureDefinition)
    Is Modifierfalse
    Primitive ValueThis primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension

    Summarytrue
    Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
    8. Bundle.implicitRules
    Definition

    A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

    ShortA set of rules under which this content was created
    Comments

    Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

    Control0..1
    Typeuri
    Is Modifiertrue because This element is labeled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies its meaning or interpretation
    Primitive ValueThis primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
    Must Supportfalse
    Summarytrue
    Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
    10. Bundle.type
    Definition

    Indicates the purpose of this bundle - how it is intended to be used.

    Shortdocument | message | transaction | transaction-response | batch | batch-response | history | searchset | collection | subscription-notification
    Comments

    It's possible to use a bundle for other purposes (e.g. a document can be accepted as a transaction). This is primarily defined so that there can be specific rules for some of the bundle types.

    Control1..1
    This element is affected by the following invariants: bdl-1, bdl-2, bdl-3a, bdl-3b, bdl-3c, bdl-3d, bdl-7, bdl-9, bdl-10, bdl-11, bdl-12, bdl-13, bdl-14, bdl-15, bdl-17, bdl-18

    ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
    SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices on Bundle.entry. The slices areUnordered and Closed, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
    • profile @ resource
    • 14. Bundle.entry.modifierExtension
      Definition

      May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

      Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

      ShortExtensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized
      Comments

      There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

      Control0..*
      TypeExtension
      Is Modifiertrue because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the element that contains them
      Summarytrue
      Requirements

      Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

      Alternate Namesextensions, user content, modifiers
      Invariantsele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
      ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists())
      16. Bundle.entry.fullUrl
      Definition

      The Absolute URL for the resource. Except for transactions and batches, each entry in a Bundle must have a fullUrl. The fullUrl SHALL NOT disagree with the id in the resource - i.e. if the fullUrl is not a urn:uuid, the URL shall be version-independent URL consistent with the Resource.id. The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

      • invoking a create
      • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
      • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.
      ShortURI for resource (e.g. the absolute URL server address, URI for UUID/OID, etc.)
      Comments

      fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

      Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

      The Absolute URL for the resource. Except for transactions and batches, each entry in a Bundle must have a fullUrl. The fullUrl SHALL NOT disagree with the id in the resource - i.e. if the fullUrl is not a urn:uuid, the URL shall be version-independent URL consistent with the Resource.id. The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

      • invoking a create
      • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
      • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.
      ShortURI for resource (e.g. the absolute URL server address, URI for UUID/OID, etc.)
      Comments

      fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

      Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

      40. Bundle.entry:guideline.resource
      Definition

      A set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical package that provides a single coherent statement of meaning, establishes its own context and that has clinical attestation with regard to who is making the statement. A Composition defines the structure and narrative content necessary for a document. However, a Composition alone does not constitute a document. Rather, the Composition must be the first entry in a Bundle where Bundle.type=document, and any other resources referenced from Composition must be included as subsequent entries in the Bundle (for example Patient, Practitioner, Encounter, etc.).


      The Resource for the entry. The purpose/meaning of the resource is determined by the Bundle.type. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by something else within the Bundle that provides context/meaning.

The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

      • invoking a create
      • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
      • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.

      fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

      Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

      • invoking a create
      • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
      • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.
      ShortURI for resource (e.g. the absolute URL server address, URI for UUID/OID, etc.)
      Comments

      fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

      Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

The fullUrl SHALL NOT disagree with the id in the resource - i.e. if the fullUrl is not a urn:uuid, the URL shall be version-independent URL consistent with the Resource.id. The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

      • invoking a create
      • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
      • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.
      ShortURI for resource (e.g. the absolute URL server address, URI for UUID/OID, etc.)
      Comments

      fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

      Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

        ShortA set of rules under which this content was created
        Comments

        Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

        Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

        Definition

        The date/time that the bundle was assembled - i.e. when the resources were placed in the bundle.

        ShortWhen the bundle was assembled
        Comments

        For many bundles, the timestamp is equal to .meta.lastUpdated, because they are not stored (e.g. search results). When a bundle is placed in a persistent store, .meta.lastUpdated will be usually be changed by the server. When the bundle is a message, a middleware agent altering the message (even if not stored) SHOULD update .meta.lastUpdated. .timestamp is used to track the original time of the Bundle, and SHOULD be populated.

        Usage:

        • document : the date the document was created. Note: the composition may predate the document, or be associated with multiple documents. The date of the composition - the authoring time - may be earlier than the document assembly time
        • message : the date that the content of the message was assembled. This date is not changed by middleware engines unless they add additional data that changes the meaning of the time of the message
        • history : the date that the history was assembled. This time would be used as the _since time to ask for subsequent updates
        • searchset : the time that the search set was assembled. Note that different pages MAY have different timestamps but need not. Having different timestamps does not imply that subsequent pages will represent or include changes made since the initial query
        • transaction | transaction-response | batch | batch-response | collection : no particular assigned meaning

        The timestamp value should be greater than the lastUpdated and other timestamps in the resources in the bundle, and it should be equal or earlier than the .meta.lastUpdated on the Bundle itself.

        A series of links that provide context to this bundle.

        Comments

        Both Bundle.link and Bundle.entry.link are defined to support providing additional context when Bundles are used (e.g. HATEOAS).

        Bundle.entry.link corresponds to links found in the HTTP header if the resource in the entry was read directly.

        This specification defines some specific uses of Bundle.link for searching and paging, but no specific uses for Bundle.entry.link, and no defined function in a transaction - the meaning is implementation specific. The behavior of navigation link types (next/prev/first/last) are well defined for searchset and history Bundles but are not currently defined for other types. Implementers who choose to use such link relationships for other bundle types will need to negotiate behavior with their interoperability partners.

The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

          • invoking a create
          • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
          • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.

          fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

          Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

          120. Bundle.entry:guideline.fullUrl
          Definition

          The Absolute URL for the resource. Except for transactions and batches, each entry in a Bundle must have a fullUrl. The fullUrl SHALL NOT disagree with the id in the resource - i.e. if the fullUrl is not a urn:uuid, the URL shall be version-independent URL consistent with the Resource.id. The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

          • invoking a create
          • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
          • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.
          ShortURI for resource (e.g. the absolute URL server address, URI for UUID/OID, etc.)
          Comments

          fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

          Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

          Definition

          A set of healthcare-related information that is assembled together into a single logical package that provides a single coherent statement of meaning, establishes its own context and that has clinical attestation with regard to who is making the statement. A Composition defines the structure and narrative content necessary for a document. However, a Composition alone does not constitute a document. Rather, the Composition must be the first entry in a Bundle where Bundle.type=document, and any other resources referenced from Composition must be included as subsequent entries in the Bundle (for example Patient, Practitioner, Encounter, etc.).

          ShortA set of resources composed into a single coherent clinical statement with clinical attestation
          Comments

          While the focus of this specification is on patient-specific clinical statements, this resource can also apply to other healthcare-related statements such as study protocol designs, healthcare invoices and other activities that are not necessarily patient-specific or clinical.

          For a POST/PUT operation, this is the equivalent outcome that would be returned for prefer = operationoutcome - except that the resource is always returned whether or not the outcome is returned.

          This outcome is not used for error responses in batch/transaction, only for hints and warnings. In a batch operation, the error will be in Bundle.entry.response, and for transaction, there will be a single OperationOutcome instead of a bundle in the case of an error.

          Definition

          The Absolute URL for the resource. Except for transactions and batches, each entry in a Bundle must have a fullUrl. The fullUrl SHALL NOT disagree with the id in the resource - i.e. if the fullUrl is not a urn:uuid, the URL shall be version-independent URL consistent with the Resource.id. The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

          • invoking a create
          • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
          • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.
          ShortURI for resource (e.g. the absolute URL server address, URI for UUID/OID, etc.)
          Comments

          fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

          Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

The fullUrl is a version independent reference to the resource. Even when not required, fullUrl MAY be set to a urn:uuid to allow referencing entries in a transaction. The fullUrl can be an arbitrary URI and is not limited to urn:uuid, urn:oid, http, and https. The fullUrl element SHALL have a value except when:

          • invoking a create
          • invoking or responding to an operation where the body is not a single identified resource
          • invoking or returning the results of a search or history operation.

          Comments

          fullUrl might not be unique in the context of a resource. Note that since FHIR resources do not need to be served through the FHIR API, the fullURL might be a URN or an absolute URL that does not end with the logical id of the resource (Resource.id). However, but if the fullUrl does look like a RESTful server URL (e.g. meets the regex, then the 'id' portion of the fullUrl SHALL end with the Resource.id.

          Note that the fullUrl is not the same as the canonical URL - it's an absolute url for an endpoint serving the resource (these will happen to have the same value on the canonical server for the resource with the canonical URL).

          There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
