ePMA Implementation Guidance for FHIR STU3

This guidance is under active development by NHS Digital and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.
Please note: This guidance has been superseded by the Implementation guide for digitial medicines, which contains up-to-date information.

Element: context

It is recommended this element is optional for an MVP implementation.

Note: This element has been removed from the FHIR R4 standard

If implemented as a reference to an Encounter resource, within R4 this is supported by a new encounter element, giving a clear migration path.

Any reference to an EpisodeOfCare resource within an STU3 or CareConnect implementation will not be supported if migrated to FHIR R4.

It is recommended not to reference an EpisodeOfCare resource within an STU3 implementation.
