Topic: IPS Bundle type

Hi everybody, I am generating an IPS Bundle from multiple CDA documents and was wondering if there is a requirement which type the bundle type should be set to.
Does it have to be type=document, or could it also be type=batch, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Document

@Michele Mottini thanks for the fast reply! So if the bundle type is not set to 'document', my generated IPS is not conform to the IPS IG, correct?
Michele Mottini (Jul 02 2021 at 16:56):
correct

@Alexander Dimitrov What @Michele Mottini said is correct - at least at the moment. IPS does intend to allow for uses beyond only the classic "document", though. So if there is a proposal for why a different bundle type would be useful, I think that is something that we could consider as we are preparing the STU update for the next version of the specification. If you do have something particular in mind, let us know.

ok, thanks for the verification and will do!
do actually all the resourcen (except composition resource of course) have to be entirely in the document bundle, or would references to resources (stored on the server) work out too? for example could I only have a reference on a patient resource (outside the bundle, but stored on the FHIR server already), without having the patient data inside my bundle document?

Hi Alexander the expectation is that the referenced resources will be included in the IPS bundle
Giorgio Cangioli (Jul 03 2021 at 08:30):
see https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-ips/profiles.html
"The Bundle used for the transport or the persistence SHALL include all the resources that are referenced directly or indirectly by an International Patient Summary Composition."

this part makes it very clear. thanks for the help @Giorgio Cangioli
