Problem:

  • Lab instruments need to send raw messages in HL7 or ASTM format
  • We need a place to store those messages in raw unedited form
  • Bots or other utilities can be used to inspect the message contents and respond accordingly

Proposal:

  • Add a new DeviceMessage resource
  • Standard resource fields (id, meta, etc)
  • content for raw string content
  • Bots can then subscribe to DeviceMessage creation events

I'm not crazy about adding more custom resource types. I considered a few alternatives. Here are my reasons for not choosing them:

  • AuditEvent - lots of irrelevant required fields
  • Binary - messages are not actually binary content, and we also store binaries in blob storage, which would complicate the interaction with bots
  • Communication - not a great conceptual match, intended for human communications
