What is FHIR messaging?
In FHIR messaging, applications exchange messages triggered by events in the source systems. Technically, the messages are FHIR Bundles of type message carrying a collection of FHIR resources.
Here is an example of a FHIR message Bundle:
{
"resourceType": "Bundle",
"id": "388a86c8-2544-46d6-bcdb-289627ce5afb",
"type": "message",
"timestamp": "2022-11-01T09:21:11.764Z",
"entry": [
{
"fullUrl": "urn:uuid:f80930be-add3-4e35-89d5-7b0e3f08e868",
"resource": {
"resourceType": "MessageHeader",
"id": "f80930be-add3-4e35-89d5-7b0e3f08e868",
"event": {
"code": "http://example.org/fhir/CodeSystem/MessageEventCodes|example",
"system": "http://example.org/fhir/CodeSystem/MessageEventCodes"
}
}
},
{
"fullUrl": "http://example.org/fhir/Patient/12345",
"resource": {
"resourceType": "Patient",
"id": "12345",
"name": [
{
"use": "official",
