Reading the FHIR Documentation

Understanding the FHIR documentation is the key to understanding FHIR.

Everything you need is in there (almost), it’s just hard to find.

A while ago I put together a 1,000 word deep-dive into the documentation for some dev teams I worked with.

  • Resource content
  • Element flags
  • Data types
  • Terminology bindings
  • Search parameters
  • Extensions
  • Relationships

It’s the cheat sheet I wish I’d had a few years ago when I started with FHIR.

When a new dev joins the team I point them here.

I hope you find it useful.
