Topic: How to use List.mode = changes?
Richard Townley-O'Neill (Aug 29 2018 at 06:03):
List.mode=changes says that the list is a list of changes. But changes are changes to something. Why isn't there a reference to the list that is being changed?
Lloyd McKenzie (Aug 29 2018 at 06:29):
Probably because such lists are typically used in a context where the base is implicit. E.g. a List being included in a discharge summar would be with respect to the admission meds. A List included in a consult response would be with respect to the meds the patient is currently on. That said, explicit is probably better - feel free to submit a change request :)

After discussion on FHIR-I we decided to get further input from the community. Specifically how the List resource with mode = "changes" being used and what if any other lists are implicitly or explicitly referenced as a "base" list? Based on this example from the current build:
http://build.fhir.org/list-example.html . you could derive the list upon which this list is based.
