6.15 Resource ImplementationGuide - Content

FHIR Infrastructure Work GroupMaturity Level: 0Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

A set of rules or how FHIR is used to solve a particular problem. This resource is used to gather all the parts of an implementation guide into a logical whole, and to publish a computable definition of all the parts.

6.15.1 Scope and Usage

An "implementation guide" defines a particular scope of usage for FHIR, and sets a bounded set of expectations for implementations to comply to.

The significant conformance expectation introduced by the ImplementationGuide resource is the idea of Default Profiles. Implementations may conform to multiple implementation guides at once, but this requires that the implementation guides are compatible (see below).

6.15.2 Boundaries and Relationships

Implementation Guides contain two different types of resource references: .

  • Contents: A set of logical statements which implementations must conformn to. These are almost always conformance resources
  • Examples: Examples that illustrate the intent of the profiles defined in the implementation guide. These can be any kind of resource

An applications Conformance Statement may identify one or more implementation guides that an application conforms to.

6.15.3 Background and Context

The ImplementationGuide resource is defined for two principle reasons:

  • As a logical statement of the implementation guide contents for conformance tools to use to evaluate conformance
  • For the FHIR project tools, to support publishing implementation guides

6.15.4.2 Default Profiles

An implementation guide can define default profiles - these are profiles that apply to any resource that does not otherwise have an explicit profile assigned by the implementation guide. Default profiles are always references to profiles (StructureDefinition resources) that are also contained in the resources. By defining default profiles, an implementation guide can save itself from exhaustively defining profiles on every resource type just to profile every reference to a particular resource type.

Note that a resource can conform to the default profile by conforming to any profile derived from it.
