Must Support Property

Some elements in the Composition Resource used within ITK3 Digital Medicines documents have the “mustSupport” property set to “true”.
These are :

• Composition.encounter
• Composition.custodian
• Composition.section(slice) sections: Contacts with professionals, Legal information, History, Information and advice given, Plan and requested actions and Referrer details

The “mustSupport” property has been added to all the elements that must be supported regardless of cardinality. Whether the conformance of the element is mandatory or optional has no relevance for the “mustSupport” property. This means that for sending or receiving systems to claim conformance to any ITK3 Digital Medicines Composition Profile the following MUST be true:

• The sending system MUST support the creation and sending of all the elements in the list above.
• The sending system MUST support the creation and sending of all Composition.section slices with the specified sub-elements and narrative.* See Note 1.
• The receiving system MUST support the processing of all the elements in the list above.
• The receiving system MUST support the display of all Composition.section slices with the specified sub-elements and narrative.

Note 1 - There are rules around when sections are sent or not sent in a document. These are specified in the document headings sections.
