Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the Transport resource.

Transport
Element IdTransport
Definition

Record of transport of item.

Short DisplayDelivery of item
Cardinality0..*
TypeDomainResource
Summaryfalse
Transport.identifier
Element IdTransport.identifier
Definition

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

Short DisplayExternal identifier
NoteThis is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Cardinality0..*
TypeIdentifier
Summaryfalse
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 IdTransport.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 DisplayFormal definition of transport
Cardinality0..1

Requirements

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

Summarytrue
Transport.instantiatesUri
Element IdTransport.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 DisplayFormal definition of transport
Cardinality0..1
Typeuri
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.

Summarytrue
Transport.basedOn
Element IdTransport.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 DisplayRequest fulfilled by this transport
Cardinality0..*
TypeReference(Any)
Summarytrue
Transport.groupIdentifier
Element IdTransport.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 DisplayRequisition or grouper id
Cardinality0..1
TypeIdentifier
Requirements

Billing and/or reporting can be linked to whether multiple requests were created as a single unit.
