Data Type Profile: CDex Signature Profile

This Signature DataType profile enforces the various elements of signature documented in the CDex guide. It adds the following mandatory (min=1) constraints:

• A Signature.type fixed to ASTM Standard, E1762-95(2013) code = “1.2.840.10065.1.12.1.5” (Verification Signature)
• A Signature.who for the organization or practitioner who signed the Bundle which is either:
  1. a reference to US-Core Practitioner, US-Core PractitionerRole, or US-Core Organization or
  2. an NPI or Tax ID and name of the organization or practitioner
• A Signature.data representing the base64 encoded Signature (JWS, image, etc)

In addition, the following mandatory (min=1) element is inherited from the base standard:

• Signature.when - a system timestamp when the signature was created

Usage:

• Use this DataType Constraint: CDex SDC QuestionnaireResponse Profile and CDex Signature Bundle Profile
