Endpoint: GET /site/{siteId}/fhir/communication/{id}
Version: 1.0
Security: bearer, bearer

## Path parameters:

  - `id` (string, required)
    ID of the Communication

  - `siteId` (string, required)
    Site identifier

## Response 200 fields (application/json):

  - `resourceType` (any, required)
    This is a Communication resource
    Enum: "Communication"

  - `id` (string)
    Any combination of letters, numerals, "-" and ".", with a length limit of 64 characters.  (This might be an integer, an unprefixed OID, UUID or any other identifier pattern that meets these constraints.)  Ids are case-insensitive.
    Example: "example-id"

    An extension object type #string.
    Example: "example-string"

  - `meta.extension` (array)
    May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance  applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

  - `meta.versionId` (object)
    An extension object type #id.

    String of characters used to identify a name or a resource
    Example: "https://example.org/resource"

  - `_implicitRules` (object)
    Base definition for all elements in a resource.

    Base definition for all elements in a resource.

  - `text` (object)
    A human-readable summary of the resource conveying the essential clinical and business information for the resource.
