I am still new to FHIR and trying to connect the dots.
If I have a resource that I want to contain other resources, can I refer to it by element name (#myElementName) or do I need to use the contained resource id? (#myDeviceId).
I've included sample code below. What I would like to accomplish is to have a Basic resource that has two extensions: TestConfiguration(Device) and DigitalSample(ImagingStudy). I would like for both of these resources to be contained.
PS: I generated the code below using custom classes and the .net API.
Thank you much!
{
"resourceType": "TestInput",
"contained": [
{
"resourceType": "TestConfiguration",
"id": "TestConfigurationId",
"contained": [
{
"resourceType": "DeviceDefinition",
"modelNumber": "ABC123"
}
],
"definition": {
"reference": "#definition"
}
},
{
"resourceType": "DigitalSample",
"id": "DigitalSampleId"
}
],
"extension": [
{
"url": "http://MyOrganization.com/fhir/R4/StructureDefinition/Basic-TestConfiguration",
"valueReference": {
"reference": "#testConfiguration"
}
},
{
"url": "http://MyOrganization.com/fhir/R4/StructureDefinition/Basic-DigitalSample",
"valueReference": {
"reference": "#digitalSampleId"
}
}
]
}
Every local reference must point to an id of a contained resource. In your case it should be:
"reference": "#TestConfigurationId"
"reference":"#DigitalSampleId"
