This is the string that uniquely identifies a KMEHR element: a message(header), a folder, a transaction, a heading or an item.

Headings allow one to organize a transaction within sections, paragraphs. They may be decomposed in further headings and or items. Headings should only be used for ‘presentation purposes’. However, some transactions may require a specific heading decomposition. A heading may be composed of headings, items, texts or links. A heading must contain at least one of those elements.
The item element corresponds to the atomic medical information (e.g. blood pressure). It can also represent a concept that is not medical if required (e.g. a contact person).
Each kmehrmessage must contain at least one folder. A folder corresponds to a patient. It may contain several transactions concerning the patient.
This page provides an overview of the ‘recognized’ transactions. By ‘recognized’, we mean that the ‘type’ of the transaction element belongs to the table CD-TRANSACTION.
A transaction can be organised using optional headings.
