Known Issues

  1. While doing validation of the Endpoint resource got the following message -- "The extension https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/mCSD/StructureDefinition/IHE.mCSD.PurposeOfUse is not allowed to be used at this point (allowed = e:MCSDOrganization, e:MCSDEndpoint; this element is [Endpoint])". Therefore, extension purpose-of-use can't be applied to the Endpoint resource as it's currently defined in mCSD. This issue was acknowledged and resolved by mCSD and will be brought up the next face to face with IHE. Their team plans to review publishing this along with other corrections.
