Official URL: http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/ParentDocument Version: 2.0.1-sd
Active as of 2025-04-04 Computable Name: ParentDocument

The ParentDocument represents the source of a document revision, addenda, or transformation. ParentDocument.text is modeled as an ED data type - allowing for the expression of the MIME type of the parent document. It is not to be used to embed the related document, and thus ParentDocument.text.BIN is precluded from use.
