Topic: Intro to FHIR Mapping Language
David Reeves (Jun 23 2020 at 00:02):
Is there a relatively simple overview of the FHIR Mapping Language? I have read section 7.7.0 FHIR Mapping Language a few times but am still not sure whether it is for mapping between code systems, or between value sets, or between profiles, or from source systems to FHIR resources, or something completely different...

The FHIR mapping language is for mapping between structures. It's used by StructureMap. The structures might be FHIR resources or data types or they might be any other structure (v2, X12, CDA, arbitrary JSON, etc.) - anything you can express as a FHIR logical model.
