Structure

PathCardinalityTypeDescription
MessageHeader0..*MessageHeaderThe 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.id0..1http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.StringThe logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.
MessageHeader.meta0..1MetaThe metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.
MessageHeader.implicitRules0..1uriA reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.
MessageHeader.language0..1codeThe base language in which the resource is written.
MessageHeader.text0..1NarrativeA human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.
MessageHeader.contained0..*ResourceThese resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.
MessageHeader.extension0..*ExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
MessageHeader.modifierExtension0..*ExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
MessageHeader.event[x]1..1CodingCode that identifies the event this message represents and connects it with its definition. Events defined as part of the FHIR specification have the system value "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/message-events". Alternatively uri to the EventDefinition.
MessageHeader.destination0..*BackboneElementThe destination application which the message is intended for.
MessageHeader.destination.id0..1http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.StringUnique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
MessageHeader.destination.extension0..*ExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
MessageHeader.destination.modifierExtension0..*ExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
MessageHeader.destination.name0..1stringHuman-readable name for the target system.
MessageHeader.destination.target0..1ReferenceIdentifies the target end system in situations where the initial message transmission is to an intermediary system.
MessageHeader.destination.endpoint1..1urlIndicates where the message should be routed to.
MessageHeader.destination.receiver0..1ReferenceAllows data conveyed by a message to be addressed to a particular person or department when routing to a specific application isn't sufficient.
MessageHeader.sender0..1ReferenceIdentifies the sending system to allow the use of a trust relationship.
MessageHeader.enterer0..1ReferenceThe person or device that performed the data entry leading to this message. When there is more than one candidate, pick the most proximal to the message. Can provide other enterers in extensions.
MessageHeader.author0..1ReferenceThe logical author of the message - the person or device that decided the described event should happen. When there is more than one candidate, pick the most proximal to the MessageHeader. Can provide other authors in extensions.
MessageHeader.source1..1BackboneElementThe source application from which this message originated.
MessageHeader.source.id0..1http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.StringUnique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
MessageHeader.source.extension0..*ExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
MessageHeader.source.modifierExtension0..*ExtensionMay be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions.

MessageHeader.source.name0..1stringHuman-readable name for the source system.
MessageHeader.source.software0..1stringMay include configuration or other information useful in debugging.
MessageHeader.source.version0..1stringCan convey versions of multiple systems in situations where a message passes through multiple hands.
MessageHeader.source.contact0..1ContactPointAn e-mail, phone, website or other contact point to use to resolve issues with message communications.
MessageHeader.source.endpoint1..1urlIdentifies the routing target to send acknowledgements to.
MessageHeader.responsible0..1ReferenceThe person or organization that accepts overall responsibility for the contents of the message. The implication is that the message event happened under the policies of the responsible party.

MessageHeader.response0..1BackboneElementInformation about the message that this message is a response to. Only present if this message is a response.
