Transport.identifier
Element Id Transport.identifier
Definition

Identifier for the transport event that is used to identify it across multiple disparate systems.

Short Display External identifier
Note This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Cardinality 0..*
Type Identifier
Summary false
Comments

This identifier is typically assigned by the dispenser, and may be used to reference the delivery when exchanging information about it with other systems.

Transport.instantiatesCanonical
Element Id Transport.instantiatesCanonical
Definition

The URL pointing to a FHIR-defined protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this Transport.

Short Display Formal definition of transport
Cardinality 0..1
Type canonical(ActivityDefinition)
Requirements

Enables a formal definition of how the transport is to be performed, enabling automation.

Summary true
Transport.instantiatesUri
Element Id Transport.instantiatesUri
Definition

The URL pointing to an externally maintained protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that is adhered to in whole or in part by this Transport.

Short Display Formal definition of transport
Cardinality 0..1
Type uri
Requirements

Enables a formal definition of how the transport is to be performed (e.g. using BPMN, BPEL, XPDL or other formal notation to be associated with a transport), enabling automation.

Summary true
Transport.basedOn
Element Id Transport.basedOn
Definition

BasedOn refers to a higher-level authorization that triggered the creation of the transport. It references a "request" resource such as a ServiceRequest or Transport, which is distinct from the "request" resource the Transport is seeking to fulfill. This latter resource is referenced by FocusOn. For example, based on a ServiceRequest (= BasedOn), a transport is created to fulfill a procedureRequest ( = FocusOn ) to transport a specimen to the lab.

Short Display Request fulfilled by this transport
Cardinality 0..*
Type Reference(Any)
Summary true
Transport.groupIdentifier
Element Id Transport.groupIdentifier
Definition

A shared identifier common to multiple independent Request instances that were activated/authorized more or less simultaneously by a single author. The presence of the same identifier on each request ties those requests together and may have business ramifications in terms of reporting of results, billing, etc. E.g. a requisition number shared by a set of lab tests ordered together, or a prescription number shared by all meds ordered at one time.

Short Display Requisition or grouper id
