+# MSC4302: Exchanging FHIR resources via Matrix events
+
+[FHIR] (pronounced 🔥) is a globally established standard for exchanging healthcare information
+electronically. The base building blocks of FHIR are so called resources, such as [`Patient`]. These
+resources can be serialised into JSON or XML which allows them to be transmitted via the [`m.file`]
+message type with a MIME type of `application/fhir+json` or `application/fhir+xml`. The generic MIME
+type doesn't provide clients with any information about what resources are contained in the file,
+however, and requires them to download it for further processing. This is suboptimal because clients
+may want to render only some resources, such as [Questionnaire], with a rich UI. Furthermore, even
+if a client chooses to present all FHIR resources as opaque files, users would benefit from getting
+some information about a file's content without having to download it. Finally, FHIR resources may
+in certain cases be small enough to be inlined into Matrix events which would significantly simplify
+client-side processing.
+
+To address these shortcomings, this proposal introduces an event type for transmitting FHIR
+resources and type information over Matrix in either inlined or uploaded form.
+
+## Proposal
+
+A new event type `m.fhir.resource` is introduced with the following properties in `content`:
+
+- `canonical_url` (string, required): The resource's [canonical URL], that is the globally unique
+  identifier defining its schema. MAY contain a version suffix separated by `|` as per the FHIR
+  specification.
+- `m.fhir.resource` (object): The serialised JSON if it fits within the [64 KiB event size limit].
+  Required if `m.file` is missing.
+- `m.file` (object): An [MSC3551] content block describing an uploaded JSON or XML serialisation of
+  the resource if it is too large to be inlined. Required if `m.fhir.resource` is missing.
+
+``` json5
+{
+  "type": "m.fhir.resource",
+  "content": {
+    "canonical_url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/patient.html|4.0.1",
+    "m.fhir.resource": {
+      "resourceType": "Patient",
+      "name": [{
+        "use": "official",
+        "given": ["John", "James"],
+        "family": "Doe"
+      }],
+      "gender": "male",
+      "birthDate": "1970-01-01",
+      // further properties as per the Patient schema
+    },
+    "m.file": {
+      "url": "mxc://example.org/abcd1234",
+      "mimetype": "application/fhir+json",
+      // further properties as per MSC3551
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Potential issues
+
+FHIR includes generic resources such as [`Bundle`] which wrap other resources. The `canonical_url`
+will not help clients understand the wrapped content without downloading it in these cases.
+Dedicated event types may be introduced in future to cater to these situations.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+Dedicated MIME types per resource, version and serialisation format could be introduced. Since FHIR
+supports a vast number of resources this doesn't appear practical, however.
+
+[RFC 2045] allows MIME types to include modifying parameters. The canonical URL could, therefore, be
+included alongside the media type[^1].
+
+    Content-type: application/fhir+json; canonical_url="http://hl7.org/fhir/patient.html|4.0.1"
+
+This would allow reusing the `m.file` message type but leaks the resource type to the home server in
+[`POST /_matrix/media/v3/upload`].
+
+## Security considerations
+
+None.
+
+## Unstable prefix
+
+While this MSC is not considered stable, the event type `m.fhir.resource` should be referred to as
+`de.gematik.msc4302.fhir.resource`.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+None.
+
+[^1]: This could also be done by reusing the `profile` parameter from [RFC 6906]. Since the term
+    "profile" already has a specific meaning within the FHIR standard, this could be confusing,
+    however.
