2. 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.

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.

6. Bundle.issues
Definition

Captures issues and warnings that relate to the construction of the Bundle and the content within it.

Comments

Usage notes: These issues and warnings must apply to the Bundle as a whole, not to individual entries.Messages relating to the processing of individual entries (e.g. in a batch or transaction) SHALL be reported in the entry.response.outcome for that entry. If there are errors that arise in the creation of the Bundle, then that should be handled by an OperationOutcome being returned instead of the Bundle.

    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.

However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

      Comments

      Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

      46. Bundle.timestamp
      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.

      50. Bundle.link
      Definition

      ShortLinks related 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 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).

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

      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.

      114. Bundle.entry.response.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).

      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.

      Definition

      An OperationOutcome containing hints and warnings produced as part of processing this entry in a batch or transaction.

      ShortOperationOutcome with hints and warnings (for batch/transaction)
      Comments

      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.

      ShortDigital Signature
      Comments

      The signature could be created by the "author" of the bundle or by the originating device. Requirements around inclusion of a signature, verification of signatures and treatment of signed/non-signed bundles is implementation-environment specific.

      Requirements

      A Signature holds an electronic representation of a signature and its supporting context in a FHIR accessible form. The signature may either be a cryptographic type (XML DigSig or a JWS), which is able to provide non-repudiation proof, or it may be a graphical image that represents a signature or a signature process. This element allows capturing signatures on documents, messages, transactions or even search responses, to support content-authentication, non-repudiation or other business cases. This is primarily relevant where the bundle may travel through multiple hops or via other mechanisms where HTTPS non-repudiation is insufficient.

      Definition

      Captures issues and warnings that relate to the construction of the Bundle and the content within it.

      ShortIssues with the Bundle
      Comments

      Usage notes: These issues and warnings must apply to the Bundle as a whole, not to individual entries.Messages relating to the processing of individual entries (e.g. in a batch or transaction) SHALL be reported in the entry.response.outcome for that entry. If there are errors that arise in the creation of the Bundle, then that should be handled by an OperationOutcome being returned instead of the Bundle.
