      We think that a subIG profile with specific definition of actors and content-sharing specific MustSupport definition is an appropriate/ effective solution to the obvious practical, but normative questionable answer of not allowing updates to patient demographcis (and likely changes to the Patient resource) in a DxReport-update.

    Description

      DiagReport-update says:

      The updates include:

      • adding, updating, or removing FHIR resources contained in the anchor context
      • updating attributes of the anchor context (the DiagnosticReport resource) or associated context resources (Patient and/or ImagingStudy resources)

       

      How are the two bolded phrases different from one another?

      Is the first bullet referring to the content corresponding to the report, patient and study keys? And the second bullet to the content corresponding to the "updates" key?

      If so, what is the expected ability to update "FHIR resources contained in the anchor context" ? For example, can a system change a patient's phone number? Or the patient for a DxReport? or the DxReport itself?

      How does an implementer reading this spec know the answers to the above? 

      The report, patient and study keys shouldn't be treated as content, and the first bullet should be removed (subject to my interpretation being correct).
