0. CapabilityStatement
Definition

A Capability Statement documents a set of capabilities (behaviors) of a FHIR Server or Client for a particular version of FHIR that may be used as a statement of actual server functionality or a statement of required or desired server implementation.

ShortA statement of system capabilities
Comments

Applications may implement multiple versions (see Managing Multiple Versions, and the $versions operation). If they do, then a CapabilityStatement describes the system's support for a particular version of FHIR, and the server will have multiple statements, one for each version.

2. CapabilityStatement.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.

4. CapabilityStatement.contained
Definition

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning.

ShortContained, inline Resources
Comments

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

Definition

An Extension


May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. 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.

ShortExtensionAdditional content defined by implementations
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.

    Definition

    May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it 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 is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

    Comments

    The date is often not tracked until the resource is published, but may be present on draft content. Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the capability statement. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.

      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.

      A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. 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.

      ShortText summary of the resource, for human interpretation
      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.

      Definition

      These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

        Definition

        May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it 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 is allowed to 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
        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.

        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.

This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which an authoritative instance of this capability statement is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the capability statement is stored on different servers.

        ShortCanonical identifier for this capability statement, represented as a URI (globally unique)
        Comments

        Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version.

        The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions.

        In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.

        The identifier that is used to identify this version of the capability statement when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the capability statement author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.

        ShortBusiness version of the capability statement
        Comments

        There may be different capability statement instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the capability statement with the format [url]|[version]. The version SHOULD NOT contain a '#' - see Business Version.

        Note: this is primarily only relevant in terms of ImplementationGuides that don't define specific CapabilityStatements declaring the expectation of distinct roles. (E.g. generic IGs that establish privacy policies.) In situations where an ImplementationGuide does define CapabilityStatements, asserting CapabilityStatement.implementationGuide means that the implementation adheres to any Implementation.global definitions present in that IG as well as any textual requirements around security or other general interoperability behaviors. However, it does not make any assertions as to conformance with any of the CapabilityStatements defined in the IG. To assert conformance with CapabilityStatements in a referenced IG, it is necessary to use the CapabilityStatement.instantiates element.

        Comments

        Allowing the clients to create new identities on the server means that the system administrator needs to have confidence that the clients do not create clashing identities between them. Obviously, if there is only one client, this won't happen. While creating identities on the client means that the clients need to be managed, it's much more convenient for many scenarios if such management can be put in place.

        Comments

        Documenting _include support helps set conformance expectations for the desired system. Still, it is a level of detail that might not be exposed by production servers or clients when using CapabilityStatement to describe an actual implementation. If this list is empty, the server does not support includes. Support for iterative (a.k.a., recursive) _include is communicated by listing the iterative includes values supported by the server in the searchInclude element of the "root" resource type. For example, to support the following search:

        GET [base]/CarePlan?_include=CarePlan:activity-reference:DeviceRequest&_include:iterate=DeviceRequest:device

        These values would be listed as part of capabilities for "CarePlan":

        "searchInclude" : ["CarePlan:activity-reference:DeviceRequest","DeviceRequest:device"],

        Definition

        Search parameters that are supported for searching all resources for implementations to support and/or make use of - either references to ones defined in the specification, or additional ones defined for/by the implementation. This is only for searches executed against the system-level endpoint.

        ShortSearch parameters for searching all resources
        Comments

        Typically, the only search parameters supported for all searches are those that apply to all resources - tags, profiles, text search etc. These search parameters should include the control search parameters such as _sort, _count, etc. that also apply to this resource (though many will be listed at CapabilityStatement.rest.searchParam). The behavior of some search parameters may be further described by other code or extension elements, or narrative within the capability statement or linked SearchParameter definitions.
