Topic: FHIR Messaging - MessageHeader ValueSet Message-Events

Hi all!
I have a scenario where there is basically an implementation of FHIR Messaging across two vendors.
In order to correctly identify which action should be taken when a Bundle is received, we have to use the MessageHeader resource.
In the MessageHeader resource the eventCoding.code should reflect the purpose of the bunde (e.g. "createOrder", "createAppointment").
My question is there a ValueSet that defines this event codes? In the Fhir specs i understand that there isn't and that is something to be agreed between the vendors of the FHIR Messaging integration (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/messaging.html).
Am i right to assume that the valueSet for this event codes are defined per integration? Or is there a valueSet table already defined?
Thank you for the attention!

You are right - you need to define your own value set.

So far, messaging has typically only been used in 'closed' environments that define their own codes. There's been no interest from the community in trying to standardize these codes and message definitions across environments.

(Most interoperability with FHIR doesn't use messaging at all)
