    Class MessageHeader

    MessageHeader Class

    The header for a message exchange that is either requesting or responding to an action. The reference(s) that are the subject of the action as well as other information related to the action are typically transmitted in a bundle in which the MessageHeader resource instance is the first resource in the bundle.

    Many implementations are not prepared to use REST and need a messaging based infrastructure.

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: A resource that describes a message that is exchanged between systems
    • Definition: The header for a message exchange that is either requesting or responding to an action. The reference(s) that are the subject of the action as well as other information related to the action are typically transmitted in a bundle in which the MessageHeader resource instance is the first resource in the bundle.

    MessageHeader.event[x] Element

    @ChoiceDataTypesMeta('MessageHeader.event[x]', ['Coding','canonical',]

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Event code or link to EventDefinition
    • Definition: Code that identifies the event this message represents and connects it with its definition. Events defined as part of the FHIR specification are defined by the implementation. Alternatively a canonical uri to the EventDefinition.
    • Comment: The time of the event will be found in the focus resource. The time of the message will be found in Bundle.timestamp.
    • Requirements: Drives the behavior associated with this message.
    • FHIR Types: 'Coding', 'canonical',
    • Cardinality: 1..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    destination?: MessageHeaderDestinationComponent[]

    MessageHeader.destination Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Message destination application(s)
    • Definition: The destination application which the message is intended for.
    • Comment: There SHOULD be at least one destination, but in some circumstances, the source system is unaware of any particular destination system.
    • Requirements: Indicates where message is to be sent for routing purposes. Allows verification of "am I the intended recipient".
    • FHIR Type: BackboneElement
    • Cardinality: 0..*

    MessageHeader.source Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Message source application
    • Definition: The source application from which this message originated.
    • Requirements: Allows replies, supports audit.

    reason?: CodeableConcept

    MessageHeader.reason Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Cause of event
    • Definition: Coded indication of the cause for the event - indicates a reason for the occurrence of the event that is a focus of this message.
    • Requirements: Need to be able to track why resources are being changed and report in the audit log/history of the resource. May affect authorization.
    • FHIR Type: CodeableConcept
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    response?: MessageHeaderResponseComponent

    MessageHeader.response Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: If this is a reply to prior message
    • Definition: Information about the message that this message is a response to. Only present if this message is a response.
    • FHIR Type: BackboneElement
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    focus?: Reference[]

    MessageHeader.focus Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: The actual content of the message
    • Definition: The actual data of the message - a reference to the root/focus class of the event. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource.
    • Comment: The data is defined where the transaction type is defined. The transaction data is always included in the bundle that is the full message. Only the root resource is specified. The resources it references should be contained in the bundle but are not also listed here. Multiple repetitions are allowed to cater for merges and other situations with multiple focal targets.
    • Requirements: Every message event is about actual data, a single resource, that is identified in the definition of the event, and perhaps some or all linked resources.
    • FHIR Type: Reference
    • Cardinality: 0..*
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    definition?: CanonicalType

    MessageHeader.definition Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Link to the definition for this message
    • Definition: Permanent link to the MessageDefinition for this message.
    • Requirements: Allows sender to define the expected contents of the message.
    • FHIR Type: canonical
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
