Profiles
The UK Core Profiles have been assigned a maturity level similar to the maturity levels described in the FHIR standard. This is intended to indicate how stable the Profile is deemed to be, this is in addition to the publication status of the Profile HL7 FHIR statuses of draft, active, retired and unknown.
| Maturity level | Definition |
|---|---|
| 0 | The Profile has been published on the current build. This Profile has had no formal review and therefore may have quality issues. It is published only to allow the review process to start |
| 1 | The Profile produces no warnings during the build process and has had a formal internal review by the UK Core development team |
| 2 | The Profile has been released for review to the UK FHIR community, any feedback received has been addressed as far as possible |
| 3 | The Profile has been presented for inclusion in the Clinical and Technical Assurance process |
| 4 | The Profile has completed the Clinical and Technical Assurance process and the status has been changed to active |
| 5 | The Profile has been presented for inclusion in the HL7 UK Ballot Process |
| 6 | The Profile has completed the HL7 UK Ballot process and is now deemed to be Normative |
Important note:
This Release 1 implementation guide only contains Profiles with a maturity level of 4 or more. Profiles that are at a earlier stage of development (maturity level of 0-2) are available in the UK Core Implementation Guide Assets in Development
The Profiles are rendered in several formats:
Further information from HL7 relating to profiling is available.
The Profiles are rendered in several formats:
- Snapshot: a fully calculated form of the structure that is not dependent on any other structure
- Differential: this describes only the differences that the Profile makes relative to the structure definition (FHIR resource) they constrain
- Hybrid: a hybrid view of the snapshot and differential views
- Table: a tabular view of the Profile elements
- XML: a rendering of a XML view of the profile
- JSON: A rendering of a JSON view of the profile
Further information from HL7 relating to profiling is available.
