2000-12-20
Definition: Sites may use this field to assert adherence to a Conformance Statement published by HL7 or by a site. Conformance Statements contain detailed explanations of grammar, syntax, and usage for a particular message or set of messages. Examples of the use of Conformance Statements appear in Chapter 5, "Query."
Repetition of this field allows more flexibility in creating and naming conformance statements. For example, the first repetition could reference a standard conformance statement, and the second, just some changes to it.
