Topic: Message-Events Codes

Hello all,
I am trying to create a resource type Message-Header. What would be the appropriate Code to be used for this code system under the event which is mandatory. There are no codes defined on the Fhir website here: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/codesystem-message-events.html
"eventCoding": {
"system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/message-events",
"code": "???"
}
How do I go about this?

You define your own code system and codes unless you're sharing messages with someone who's already done so

Thank you Lloyd! That was helpful.

HL7 may get to the point of defining standard codes at some point, but so far there hasn't been a lot of interest from the community in trying to standardize FHIR messages.

(The amount of focus on messaging as a whole has itself been low.)

Likely first message codes will be defined in Implementation Guides. Such as the new IHE supplement out for public comment with a Message defined for communicating updates that one organization has made to their Patient record. Very similar to the kind of ADT use within a national exchange, but using FHIR. See the public comment opening message https://mailchi.mp/ihe/ihe-iti-tf-supplements-published-for-pc-and-ti-2019-05-24?e=2d68229859
