The profile serves as foundational specification to meet general needs in communicating serious and non-serious adverse events in clinical research. For example, to meet the need for regulatory submission requirements. This version is R4, the R5 is the preferred version. This backport is provided for convenience to those systems that cannot operate on FHIR R5.
