Packaging attachments in FHIR payload for MHR system - unknown requirements #74

Open dtr-agency opened 4 years ago

Prerequisites

The issue

Change description

Not yet clear what the packaging requirements are for attachments when sending FHIR to the My Health Record system infrastructure.

In lieu of a FHIR equivalent of the Clinical Documents - CDA Package v1.0 specification, examples for this profile will include workarounds (e.g. absolute url to a placholder repository for attachment) or inclusion as base64 binary in a bundle.

What it actually enables people to do

Clear instructions on the packaging of attachments will enable implementers to be able to correctly reference/attachments to the MHR.

How awesome would it be?

Clear instructions are much better than leaving no details about how a referenced or attached report is to be handled when sending FHIR to the MHR.

Workarounds

When the process is not clear, implementers will create their own process that suits their needs and may not not be the best interoperable solution.
