FHIR Artifacts

Most profiles are derived from US Core or FHIR Core R4, which contains detailed background:

A simple narrative summary gives each profile’s requirements and guidance. A formal hierarchical table presents a logical view of the content in both a differential and snapshot view and references to appropriate terminologies and examples are provided.

Review US Core Must Support for definitions on mandetory elements and requirements. These must also be supported in this IG for any profiles used from US Core.

All Signal-specific fields added are also defined as key elements. See FHIR IG Guidance Structure Definitions for more information.
