Communication

Status

Released. Further enhancements planned.

Overview

A [[Message]] from a [[Conversation]] is represented in our FHIR API as a Communication.

These are normally human-authored but can sometimes be generated in other situations, e.g. when a patient completes a consultation.

Note: messages still in draft (i.e. not yet sent) will not be returned.
