Definition
A description of a triggering event. Triggering events can be named events, data events, or periodic, as determined by the type element.
Comment
If an event is a named-event, it means the event is completely pre-coordinated, and no other information can be specified for the event. If the event is one of the data- events, the data and condition elements specify the triggering criteria. The data element specifies the structured component, and the condition element provides additional optional refinement of that structured component. If the event is periodic, the timing element defines when the event is triggered. For both data- and periodic events, a name can be provided as a shorthand for the formal semantics provided by the other elements.

A code for the timing schedule (or just text in code.text). Some codes such as BID are ubiquitous, but many institutions define their own additional codes. If a code is provided, the code is understood to be a complete statement of whatever is specified in the structured timing data, and either the code or the data may be used to interpret the Timing, with the exception that .repeat.bounds still applies over the code (and is not contained in the code).
Comment
BID etc. are defined as 'at institutionally specified times'. For example, an institution may choose that BID is "always at 7am and 6pm". If it is inappropriate for this choice to be made, the code BID should not be used. Instead, a distinct organization-specific code should be used in place of the HL7-defined BID code and/or a structured representation should be used (in this case, specifying the two event times).

The subject of a data requirement is critical, as the data being specified is determined with respect to a particular subject. This corresponds roughly to the notion of a Compartment in that it limits what data is available based on its relationship to the subject. In CQL, this corresponds to the context declaration.

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.
Comment
Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).
Comment
Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely.
Requirements
This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing.

The date-valued attribute of the filter. The specified path SHALL be a FHIRPath resolveable on the specified type of the DataRequirement, and SHALL consist only of identifiers, constant indexers, and .resolve(). The path is allowed to contain qualifiers (.) to traverse sub-elements, as well as indexers ([x]) to traverse multiple-cardinality sub-elements (see the [Simple FHIRPath Profile](fhirpath.html#simple) for full details). Note that the index must be an integer constant. The path must resolve to an element of type date, dateTime, Period, Schedule, or Timing.
Comment
The path attribute contains a [Simple FHIR Subset](fhirpath.html#simple) that allows path traversal, but not calculation.

The value of the filter. If period is specified, the filter will return only those data items that fall within the bounds determined by the Period, inclusive of the period boundaries. If dateTime is specified, the filter will return only those data items that are equal to the specified dateTime. If a Duration is specified, the filter will return only those data items that fall within Duration before now.

Comment
This element can be only be specified for data type triggers and provides additional semantics for the trigger. The context available within the condition is based on the type of data event. For all events, the current resource will be available as context. In addition, for modification events, the previous resource will also be available. The expression may be inlined, or may be a simple absolute URI, which is a reference to a named expression within a logic library referenced by a library element or extension within the containing resource. If the expression is a FHIR Path expression, it evaluates in the context of a resource of one of the type identified in the data requirement, and may also refer to the variable %previous for delta comparisons on events of type data-changed, data-modified, and data-deleted which will always have the same type.
