Official URL: https://fhir.athena.io/StructureDefinition/ah-binary Version: 5.10.2
Active as of 2026-05-26 Computable Name: AthenahealthBinary
Keywords: Wire Format

A resource that represents the data of a single raw artifact as digital content accessible in its native format.

There are situations where it is useful or required to handle pure binary content using the same framework as other resources. Typically, this is when the binary content is referred to from other FHIR Resources. A Binary resource can contain any content, whether text, image, pdf, zip archive, etc.
