MessageDefinition
A Task SHALL be the focus of messages corresponding to the following events:
| Event | Category | Purpose | Allowed Responses | Response Situation |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| send-communication-from-provider3 | consequence | To request additional information in response to a ServiceRequest. | send-communication-from-provider or notify-update-servicerequest |
The RMS Source has received the message and the requester responds with a Communication or an update to the ServiceRequest |
1 'perform-request' Tasks are identified with Task.code 'perform-request'
2 in cases where discreet events are not defined in this IG, implementers SHOULD use the notify-update-process-request event to share information about actions the Performer has planned or taken in response to the ServiceRequest. In these cases, a message MAY include more than one MessageHeader.focus to convey information about both the 'process-request' Task's status and any additional resource(s) added or updated.
3 'rfi' Tasks are identified with Task.code 'request-for-information-for-requester'

Note:
To enable conformance testing against the requirements of this IG, the requirements above are formally specified withing the FHIR artifacts published in this IG . Implementers are strongly encouraged to become familiar with these formal specifications and rely on them as the source of truth.
Information about how implementers can validate message instances is provided on the downloads page of this IG.
