Nexus EMR profile for an AUTHORED clinical note -- principally the encounter note (progress note, consult note, telephone note) written by an EMR user or drafted by an AI scribe and attested by a clinician.

TypedFhir API / Python

The typed accessor surface Composition exposes for Composition — generated from this IG's compiled profile; each typed accessor has a validating raw-FHIR twin (xRaw) where marked. The three ports are parity-enforced.
