Narrative

Element of the FHIR resource model for human-readable representation.

Definition

The text field carries a status (generated, extensions, additional, empty) and an XHTML div that should reflect the structured content without introducing clinical information not present elsewhere. The allowed XHTML is restricted (no scripts, styles or active elements) for safety.

Origin

Defined in the HL7 FHIR specification, the Narrative data type and the « Narrative » page (Resource.text), published by HL7 International.

Example in context

"text": { "status": "generated", "div": "<div xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">BP 120/80</div>" }
