Generated by the Pidgeon engine: pidgeon generate Bundle --seed 20260722. Codes from licensed terminologies (LOINC, SNOMED CT, CPT, RxNorm) are omitted from published examples. Truncated for display; the command reproduces the full resource.

Validation context

• strict pidgeon validate grades a Bundle instance against the base R4 structure definition: missing required elements raise REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING and cardinality violations raise CARDINALITY_MIN or CARDINALITY_MAX.(REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING)
• strict Profile validation grades the same instance against an installed IG profile: profile cardinality findings carry FHIR-PROFILE-CARDINALITY and terminology binding findings carry FHIR-PROFILE-BINDING.(FHIR-PROFILE-CARDINALITY)
