Resource Profile: DocumentBundle

This profile sets minimum expectations for the DocumentBundle that includes all resources into a single instance with containing context to act as an exchangeable clinical document.

Usage:

• Examples for this Resource Profile: Bundle/DiagnosticReport-Imaging-DCM-example-01, Bundle/DiagnosticReport-Imaging-Media-example-02, Bundle/DiagnosticReport-Lab-example-03, Bundle/DischargeSummary-example-04...
