Known Standard Issues

  • There is a defect in FHIR R4 Appointment resource. When "noshow" is used for appointment.status and appointment.cancellationReason is present, FHIR validation triggers an error indicating the status must be "no-show". This issue is acknowledged by FHIR WG and it is fixed in FHIR R5. Clients have been instructed to use "cancelled" as the workaround.

Known Rendering Defects/Issues

  • Some ValueSets in this implementation guide do not render comprehensively in Simplifier (e.g. Encounter.class ActEncounterCode). Please refer to Terminology page for links to the properly-rendered ValueSet.

  • Referenced ValueSets and CodeSystems are not resolvable. Some referenced ValueSets are not available at their canonical URL; some (particularly Canada-specific) ValueSets are not on the terminology servers used in IG publication (i.e. tx.fhir.org). Some referenced ValueSets are not currently available as FHIR R4 and may require conversion before use. Primarily, these issues impact validation against Canada Health Infoway-hosted ValueSets during development of derived Implementation Guides. (This doesn't affect deployed systems, since, in that environment, instances will be validated against locally present value sets.) For several of these ValueSets, "stub" resources have been created to stand-in within this Implementation Guide for the unresolvable ValueSets. Current guidance is to manually download the referenced value sets from, for example, the Terminology Gateway. Investigation is needed to determine if the problem ValueSets can be made "resolvable" through Infoway, or if they can be added to the standard terminology servers.
