This structure is derived from Bundle

Summary

Mandatory: 6 elements
Must-Support: 4 elements

Structures

This structure refers to these other structures:

• DDCC Composition (http://smart.who.int/ddcc/StructureDefinition/DDCCComposition)
• DDCC Patient (http://smart.who.int/ddcc/StructureDefinition/DDCCPatient)
• DDCC Organization (http://smart.who.int/ddcc/StructureDefinition/DDCCOrganization)
• DDCC DocumentReference return for QR (http://smart.who.int/ddcc/StructureDefinition/DDCCDocumentReferenceQR)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

• The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Bundle.link
• The element 1 is sliced based on the value of Bundle.entry
