This profile defines the expected capabilities of the SDC Form Archiver role when conforming to this implementation guide. This role is responsible for persisting (archiving) completed or partially completed forms QuestionnaireResponse resource instances). These instances may be submitted individually or in a bundle together with Provenance information providing details about the completion of the questionnaire response. In some cases Binary or DocumentReference resources might also be submitted to convey source information used in the population of the questionnaire response. &$xa;The purpose of this role is to capture "work in progress" for archival reasons. There is no expectation that submitted form data is subsequently made available for retrieval (at least not in the same format), though it might be made available through out-of-band mechanisms.

Any FHIR capability may be 'allowed' by the system unless explicitly marked as 'SHALL NOT'. A few items are marked as MAY in the Implementation Guide to highlight their potential relevance to the use case.

FHIR RESTful Capabilities

Mode: client

The QuestionnaireResponse may be sent as a single instance or as a FHIR Bundle also containing Provenance resources providing details on the sources of information. A Bundle submission might also include Binary and/or DocumentReference instances referring to the data used to populate the form. A Form Archiver must support persisting, searching and retrieving those resources.

Security

Implementations must meet the general security requirements documented in this implementation guide.html.

Summary of System-wide Interactions
  • SHOULD support the transactioninteraction described as follows:

    Allows submission of a QuestionnaireResponse together with Provenance and other supporting resources as a single unit of work.

  • The relevant profiles (if any)
  • The interactions supported by each resource (Read, Search, Update, and Create, are always shown, while VRead, Patch, Delete, History on Instance, or History on Type are only present if at least one of the resources has support for them.
  • The required, recommended, and some optional search parameters (if any).
  • The linked resources enabled for _include
  • The other resources enabled for _revinclude
  • The operations on the resource (if any)
