Topic: FHIR-28472: what do we mean by "endpoint"
Eric Haas (Oct 28 2020 at 20:34):
for the US Core DocumentReference Profile
The "Profile Specific Implementation Guidance" section says this:
The content.url may refer to a FHIR Binary Resource (i.e. [base]/Binary/[id]), FHIR Document Bundle (i.e [base]/Bundle/[id] or other endpoint.
The last part "or other endpoint" is the only hint that a referenced document could live on an entirely different server, potentially with separate authorization requirements. Would be worthwhile to further specify expectations and provide guidance on what should be supported. For example, "if outside of the FHIR base URL – always be accessible without additional authorization"?
