Topic: Fhir compliant entities

Hello guys. I am tasked to find out all the FHIR compliant entities (like assessments, patients, clinic etc) But as i skim through the docs not all of these is clear for me, is there a specific part of the fhir website where i can only be able to view the entities ?
Michele Mottini (Nov 03 2021 at 14:19):
What is a 'FHIR compliant entity' ?
Temo Sulava (Nov 03 2021 at 14:19):
Probably they meant resource types with it
Michele Mottini (Nov 03 2021 at 14:20):
All (FHIR) resource types are FHIR-compliant!
Temo Sulava (Nov 03 2021 at 14:21):
So basically, when i go to FHIR > resources - > everything that is listed there needs to be implemented ?
Michele Mottini (Nov 03 2021 at 14:23):
No, a server is under no obligations to implement all resources
Michele Mottini (Nov 03 2021 at 14:23):
It can implement only the resources it has data for
Michele Mottini (Nov 03 2021 at 14:24):
Or the resources mandated by some implementation guide it is targeting
Temo Sulava (Nov 03 2021 at 14:31):
so actually i need to know the data we will be supporting throuhgout the proejct lifecycle to be able to provide the resources we need yes ?
Temo Sulava (Nov 03 2021 at 14:34):
For exmaple, i need to find out the resources needed for Patient data, or Clinic data - What would be the efficient way to collect those resources? to find them easily
Michele Mottini (Nov 03 2021 at 14:37):
Make a list of the data you have and then find the corresponding resources - no 'easy way' I am afraid
Temo Sulava (Nov 03 2021 at 14:37):
Thank you, you made this very clear to me, appreciated!
Michele Mottini (Nov 03 2021 at 14:38):
No problem!
John Moehrke (Nov 03 2021 at 16:09):
All good points.
Another perspective is that you might be looking for the "minimal list of resources" as expected in a region. For example in the USA there is an Implementation Guide that sets this -- US-Core -- http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/
John Moehrke (Nov 03 2021 at 16:10):
there are other "perspectives" for other regions. There are other perspectives based on use-cases, like USA Payment Community... etc...
John Moehrke (Nov 03 2021 at 16:11):
but as Michele indicates... there is no minimum required in the FHIR core. Well, a Server must publish a metadata endpoint indicating what that servers capabilities are.
Temo Sulava (Nov 03 2021 at 18:17):
@John Moehrke Thank you for those points. By the way, i was not able to find similar list for Germany or europe as a whole, since i am working for the project for German a German clinic. Appreciate you for taking your time to respond to this thread!
John Moehrke (Nov 03 2021 at 19:37):
You should ask on the #europe or #german (d-a-ch) streams
