Wales FHIR Implementation Guide v0.0.4 - Discovery
Important: This is the initial draft of the Data Standards Wales FHIR Implementation Guide. This version contains a minimal number of base FHIR resources and should be considered 'under construction'. It is not intended for use, but is published for early comment and feedback.
Some profiles are also provided in an experimental state to show our publishing intent in the near future. These are liable to change regularly and should not be expected to remain static.
