Extension messageheader-response-request - Detailed Descriptions

Infrastructure And Messaging Work Group Maturity Level: 1InformativeUse Context: Any

Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Definition

This extension enables the capability currently available through MSH-16 (Application Level acknowledgement) in HL7 Version 2 to declare at a message instance level whether a response is required or only upon error or success, or never.

Control1..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments

The Message Definition data provides perhaps what would be acceptable response requests, but could not indicate for each instance what is appropriate. The initiator should be able to handle the response even if not expected.
