WARNING
This guidance is under active development by NHS England and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.Package Versioning
The NHS England IG uses Simplifier NPM packages to release the FHIR Conformance Assets.
The NHSE Packages are located with the Project Packages area.
Further information on Packages is available in the Simplifier documentation.
These packages may be used to validate conformance of an implementation of FHIR against a particular version or versions of the NHS England IG.
The Simplifier NPM pages are released as part of a NHS England release and normally coincides with an Implementation Guide release. The NPM package name format is all lower case and as described below:
fhir.[fhir version]nhsengland.[sequence release] [major].[minor].[patch]
where
[fhir version]- The release version of FHIR used with the NHS England (for example, R4).[sequence release]- The sequence and release (for example, stu1).[major]- The major release aligns with the Implementation Guide major version.[minor]- The minor version aligns with the Implementation Guide minor version.[patch]- The patch version starts at 0 and increments by 1 for every package release for a particular Implementation Release. Note: a Implementation guide may have more than one package associated with it.
Package example
For example 'fhir.r4.nhsengland.stu1 1.0.0`
