The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

        Comments

        Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

            Specifies the algorithm used to compute the integrityCheck value. The cryptographically strong checksum algorithm Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) is currently the industry standard. It has superseded the MD5 algorithm only a couple of years ago, when certain flaws in the security of MD5 were discovered. Currently the SHA-1 hash algorithm is the default choice for the integrity check algorithm. Note that SHA-256 is also entering widespread usage.
