UK Core Implementation Guide 1.0.0 - STU1 Pre-release
Project Description and Scope.
The UK Core Implementation Guide as a project aims to provide UK wide FHIR implementation guidance that has applicability across jurisdictions and care settings.
The guidance includes:
- FHIR Resource profiles and extensions
- FHIR Terminology components including ValueSets and CodeSystems
- Other general guidance useful to FHIR implementers in the UK
The guidance does not form the basis for a completely described deployable service in and of itself but is the basis from which other FHIR implementation guides can be derived.
The content is relevant to the UK as a whole (4 Nations) but minor individual nation specifics will be allowed. Any individual specifics will be made clear which nations they apply.
