| Title | R4: Resources that pertain to this communication (new) |
| Realm | uv |
| Authority | hl7 |
| Description | R4: `Communication.about` (new:Reference(Resource)) |
| Purpose | This extension is part of the cross-version definitions generated to enable use of the
element `Communication.about` as defined in FHIR R4
in FHIR STU3.
The source element is defined as:
`Communication.about` 0..* `Reference(http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Resource)`
Following are the generation technical comments:
Element `Communication.about` has a context of Communication based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to `Communication`.
Element `Communication.about` has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). |
