Topic: Profiling FHIR
Yunwei Wang (Sep 03 2019 at 20:49):
In 5.1.0.7 (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/profiling.html#limitations), the third bullet is:
"Profiles cannot give more specific names to elements defined in the base specification, or add new elements"
Does that mean profiles can give LESS specific names? If so, is there any example for that?
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 03 2019 at 21:10):
No. Profiles can't change element names at all.
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 03 2019 at 21:10):
(They can, however, define additional aliases)
Yunwei Wang (Sep 03 2019 at 21:31):
So I assume it should say "Profiles cannot change names to elements defined in the base specification, or add new elements"
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 03 2019 at 21:56):
That would be clearer. Feel free to submit a change request ;)

Can someone please point me to the tools that I could use to profile FHIR for our private use-case? In particular, I am looking at tools that would generate the Resource artifacts very similar to the ones available at "https://www.hl7.org/fhir/resourcelist.html".

Forge is good https://fire.ly/products/forge/

Thanks @Philip Simonsen

Forge is a freely available profiling tool specifically targeting FHIR. We publish separate releases for DSTU2, STU3 and R4. You can download Forge from https://simplifier.net/forge
Alternatively, you could also use:
-
Trifolia Workbench by Lantana
https://trifolia.lantanagroup.com/ -
Model Driven Health Tools (MDHT)
https://github.com/mdht

Be aware that Forge will let you profile resources, but you can't define new resources for FHIR except by coming to HL7 and proposing them to a work group. (You can profile the Basic resource if you have a need for something specific to your space that doesn't make sense to add to the FHIR core specification

Thanks @Michel Rutten and @Lloyd McKenzie

or CIMPL (Clinical Information Modeling and Profiling Language)

Thanks @Michel Rutten - that's actually the wrong Trifolia - it's "Trifolia on FHIR" and it's located here: https://trifolia-fhir.lantanagroup.com
