Profile: Bundle

Definition

The Bundle Resource is a container for a collection of resources. It is a packaging construct that has one of more entries that are other kinds of resources. Those resources themselves have references to other resources - e.g. an Observation that refers to a Patient. The referenced resources may also be found in the Bundle. For example, the system that constructed the Bundle may have included both the Observation and the Patient. The content of the references between resources doesn't change because of the bundle.

Context

The Bundle (PS-CA) profile represents the constraints applied to the Bundle resource by the PS-CA project.

Usage

The Bundle Resource gathers all the content of the Patient Summary into a single XML or JSON document for exchange.

The Patient Summary is a Bundle of type "document" that has a Composition resource as the first resource in the bundle, followed by a series of other resources, referenced from the Composition resource, that provide supporting evidence for the document.

Bundle 1 Example:This example shows how the Bundle resource is used to encase the Composition resource and any resources referenced by the Composition that also need to be included as bundle entries (e.g., Patient, Practitioner, PractitionerRole, Condition, MedicationRequest, AllergyIntollerance, etc.)
