During discussions in FHIR-I, there are use-cases that appear with use-cases enabled by FHIR where a sender wants to tag the resources they are sending as a "Copy" or "Duplicate". Much like in the paper world where paperwork that is copied from the original is marked as a copy.

This would most likely be in PUSH cases or Document cases, and not in cases where a FHIR server is serving up queries (REST). Although this is just to help clarify the use-case, not to create rules of use.

A Copy is a complete copy at the time the copy was made. So it is different from SubSetted or Abstracted.

A Copy can be used as a copy, but any changes must go back to the official copy.

I think this is a code that should be part of the Integrity group

http://build.fhir.org/v3/SecurityIntegrityObservationValue/vs.html

aka

http://build.fhir.org/v3/ObservationValue/cs.html#v3-ObservationValue-_SECINTOBV

Note, that this code might be used in the .meta element, but might also be used in Provenance.

ACTION: First we need a new code added, if added to the _SECINTOBV then it will autuomatically become part of HCS and the valueset in FHIR. If this is done, then this is just a vocab task.
