Topic: advice on system sender on communication
Jens Villadsen (Dec 10 2020 at 10:14):
I need a word of advice here. I have a system that autogenerates and stores FHIR communication (STU3) messages and I'm in the need for efficiently modelling the fact that the system itself is the sender of information. Up until now, I've used a contained Device as sender, but now my clients would like to search or filter on Communication resources that are NOT these system generated messages. I've considered to use tag instead, but that has other limitations. Should I really bite the apple and create and store a Device that represents the system?

Use a special value in 'category' for system generated messages?
Jens Villadsen (Dec 10 2020 at 10:53):
Category is already used for stating whether it is a note, an advise, or an actual message ... - but you are saying something ... we could expand the category part
John Moehrke (Dec 10 2020 at 13:23):
wouldn't those be sent by the Organization? surely you could have a Device instance too
Jens Villadsen (Dec 10 2020 at 22:14):
Sure ... Organization would also have made sense
