Alex Goel / Jose Costa Teixeira : 14-0-0
Summary
I am asking that we remove the securityLabel field in DocumentReference, as this field duplicates the meta.security field.
Details
In DocumentReference, there is a securityLabel element. It uses the SecurityLabels value set.
However, this information duplicates what is in the meta.security field. Each FHIR resource contains a meta field Inside meta is a meta.security field, which is also binded to SecurityLabels valueset.
Given that every resource already has a meta.security field, I recommend we use this field solely for security tagging. This will be a consistent and universal way of flagging security.
We should remove the extraneous securityLabel field in DocumentReference.
