Topic: au-fhir-pd R4- Reference type is repeated

Chandan Datta (Feb 11 2020 at 04:44):

We are trying to validate the FHIR AUPD profile definitions with Forge tool and ran into an issue. In the au-fhir-pd profile R4- Reference type is repeated(in for example the StructureDefinition-au-healthcareservice.xml), which is a violation of the eld-13 rule

<element id="HealthcareService.endpoint">
      <path value="HealthcareService.endpoint" />
      <short value="Technical endpoints for this healthcare service, including secure messaging endpoints" />
      <type>
          <code value="Reference" />
          <targetProfile value="http://hl7.org.au/fhir/pd/StructureDefinition/au-pd-sm-endpoint" />
      </type>
      <type>
          <code value="Reference" />
          <targetProfile value="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Endpoint" />
      </type>
      <mustSupport value="true" />
  </element>

The Reference type is repeated, which is a violation of the eld-13 rule.

What was the intended usage of the Reference and what is the fix for this? It seems like it’s OK to have multiple instances of type. And since each instance of type is allowed to have 0..* instances of code, structurally it seems like this should work.
Was Forge used to author these profiles or was it any other tool?
Which FHIR server was used to test the Profile conformance by anyone who has used these profiles?
