Comments

The subject of a data requirement is critical, as the data being specified is determined with respect to a particular subject. This corresponds roughly to the notion of a Compartment in that it limits what data is available based on its relationship to the subject. In CQL, this corresponds to the context declaration.

DataRequirement.mustSupport
Element IdDataRequirement.mustSupport
Definition

Indicates that specific elements of the type are referenced by the knowledge module and must be supported by the consumer in order to obtain an effective evaluation. This does not mean that a value is required for this element, only that the consuming system must understand the element and be able to provide values for it if they are available.

The value of mustSupport SHALL be a FHIRPath resolvable on the type of the DataRequirement. The path SHALL consist only of identifiers, constant indexers, and .resolve() (see the Simple FHIRPath Profile for full details).

If the expression is a FHIR Path expression, it evaluates in the context of a resource of one of the type identified in the data requirement, and may also refer to the variable %previous for delta comparisons on events of type data-changed, data-modified, and data-deleted which will always have the same type.
