Expectations of a Notification Receiver, typically an EHR, that accepts fact-of-death notifications. A receiver SHALL accept all three message events. Accepting a retraction is not optional: a receiver that can accept a death but not withdraw it cannot be corrected when a jurisdiction registers a death against the wrong individual.

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.
serverNotifications are delivered by invoking $process-message at the server root with a Fact of Death Notification Bundle as the message. A receiver that supports acknowledgement returns a Fact of Death Acknowledgement Bundle synchronously in the operation response.

A receiver matches each notification to a patient record using its own matching logic. Where it supports acknowledgement, it reports the outcome using the Fact of Death Match Outcome, including the case where no patient record matched.
