Example of workflow instance.

12.23.1 12.32.1 Scope and Usage

Todo This resource is expected to be used in implementation guides or other specifications to provide examples for how certain workflows would manifest. It can be used to show how instances would evolve over time as well as the interplay of systems over time to accomplish a particular end-state. It will frequently be used to generate sequence diagrams, but also provides further information about all of the entities within the sequence diagrams, including the instances shared as part of the exchange.

This resource is most useful when documenting more complex flows rather than simple RESTful invocations or other request-response pairs.

12.32.2 Boundaries and Relationships

PlanDefinitions also describe actors and sequences of interactions between them, including alternatives. However, PlanDefinition defines what's allowed, while ExampleScenario represents a potential pathway through what's allowed. While an ExampleScenario can define alternatives, it doesn't call out all of them. Instead, it highlights the path(s) of interest to help a reader understand what's possible or how a particular scenario might work. Any resource can be an 'example' in a specification. This resource is referenced by itself specifically about highlighting how those examples come together in a workflow - who exchanges them and under what circumstances.

12.23.2.1 12.32.4.1 Terminology Bindings

ExampleScenario.instance.resourceType
Path Definition ValueSet Type Reference Documentation
ExampleScenario.versionAlgorithm[x] VersionAlgorithm Extensible

Indicates the mechanism used to compare versions to determine which is more current.

ExampleScenario.status The lifecycle status of an artifact. PublicationStatus Required PublicationStatus

The lifecycle status of an artifact.

ExampleScenario.jurisdiction Countries and regions within which this artifact is targeted for use. JurisdictionValueSet Extensible Jurisdiction ValueSet

This value set defines a base set of codes for country, country subdivision and region for indicating where a resource is intended to be used.

Note: The codes for countries and country subdivisions are taken from ISO 3166 icon while the codes for "supra-national" regions are from UN Standard country or area codes for statistical use (M49) icon.
ExampleScenario.actor.type ExampleScenarioActorType Required

The type of actor - system or human.

ExampleScenario.instance.structureType ExampleScenarioResourceType Required Extensible ExampleScenarioActorType

Types of resource structures that can be passed in or out of exchange operations. Not necessarily FHIR.

ExampleScenario.process.step.operation.type The type of resource. TestScriptOperationCode (a valid code from FHIR Restful Interactions ) Required Extensible ResourceType

This value set defines a set of codes that are used to indicate the supported operations of a testing engine or tool.
