Resource Profile: haau3 Composition

Official URL: https://haau3.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/haau3-composition Version: 1.0.0
Draft as of 2026-10-14 Computable Name: Haau3Composition

A clinical summary document delivered for a care recipient — a continuity-of-care document or a progress note, as the practice that produced it wrote it up. Every delivered record says who it is about, what kind of document it is, when it was written and by whom. Its sections state what they contain; the records they list are delivered as ordinary records of their own type, and a section lists only those haau3 holds.
