Suppressed Messages (Warnings, hints, broken links)

01. === EXTENSIONS: These messages are generated in the snapshot from the base resources. There is no reference to these extensions in the US-PCS resource profiles. (same text as IPS) ===

02. === The US-PCS guide includes a no-info and full example of a Bundle, which contains US-PCS Composition. The group thinks an example of Composition alone is misleading since it only makes sense when it includes the referenced resource in the Bundle ===

03. === The US-PCS guide includes a no-info and full example of a Bundle which is generally aligned with US Core Patient 6.1.0 but has had some extension removed per FHIR-56875, so slices are not automatically matched ===

04. === The US-PCS Bundle profile includes a slice that allows both a US Core Clinical Result and US Core Laboratory Observation. The latter is a derived profile of former, so it will always be present as a slicing warning. We think it important to include both profiles in the Must Support section of "Results" in US-PCS ===

05. === The US-PCS workgroup had substantially discussion on what US Core version to reference. Since 6.1.0 (USCDI v3) is what is generally implemented in 2026, the group decided to start with those resources since EHRs are implementing today rather than pinning to future version not yet required by vendors. We expect ballot feedback on this topic. ===

06. === Referenced resources need to be included in a US-PCS where relevant (and definitely when referenced from Composition). The working US-PCS group, however, thought important to demonstrate that not all references must be contained in our summary example. This is important for several US Core resources where the references are requried in the base resource but the second or third order data may not be relevant for the summary. ===

07. === We are using 5.3.0 as dependency (like IPS 2.0.1) since we include textLink extension in example (like IPS) ===

08. === These conformance clauses are referenced from C-CDA 2.1 and are not part of the US-PCS conformance statements ===

09. === These are references in US Core, which we use but do not control status of CodeSystems ===

10. === FHIR-56875 resolved that we would pre-adopt the US Core 9 us-core-individual-sex extension. We don't want to include US Core 9 dependency so this link issue will persist ===
