2.48 Resource MessageDefinition - Content

Infrastructure And Messaging Work GroupMaturity Level: 1 Trial UseSecurity Category: Anonymous Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

Defines the characteristics of a message that can be shared between systems, including the type of event that initiates the message, the content to be transmitted and what response(s), if any, are permitted.

Implementers should be familiar with the messaging concepts and descriptions found in Messaging using FHIR Resources before working with this resource.

MessageDefinition (DomainResource)The business identifier that is used to reference the MessageDefinition and *is* expected to be consistent from server to serverurl : uri [0..1]A formal identifier that is used to identify this message definition when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instanceidentifier : Identifier [0..*]The identifier that is used to identify this version of the message definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the message definition author and is not expected to be globally unique.
