Topic: Can crucible code be used for DSTU 2.1?

Can I use the ruby code to implement application code which needs to communicate with May2016 FHIR (prior to official STU3)

Not out of the box. Where are you using May2016?

Marc Dumontier (Jan 28 2020 at 23:12):

Hi Llloyd..I was looking at PrescribeIT documentation.

What kind of challenges would I face if I used one of the out the box models..I'm assuming STU3 would be the closest...would integration still be doable or would we need the 2.1 models in crucible?

k. Good. I was worried someone else was also using May2016. I'm actually not sure which version May2016 is closest to - I've never done that analysis. It's unlikely the Crucible maintainers will updated the product to support that release because Infoway is the only organization we're aware of using that release. (And the Crucible creators are U.S.-based and funded by U.S. organizations). So you'd be looking at having to extend Crucible yourselves to support the release. I don't have the experience with Crucible to evaluate how challenging a task that would be. (The good news is that you don't need to support all of the STU2 resources, just those used by PrescribeIT.)
