Topic: Mixed FHIR versions - resource references
Kevin Mayfield (Jan 11 2022 at 15:30):
Is it ok? or is it frowned upon.
Our current FHIR version is R4 but we are looking at Subscriptions and our use case matches R5 far more than it does R4.
Especially SubscriptionTopic, SubscriptionStatus and the new Bundle type (subscription-notification).
The main issue would be the references in the SubscriptionStatus.notificationEvent.focus
As we are mainly R4, can we use R4 references here?
Grahame Grieve (Jan 11 2022 at 15:31):
the tools don't know how to support it. And if I sat down to try to support, I'd probably totally freak out at all the issues it raises
Kevin Mayfield (Jan 11 2022 at 15:32):
The other option is we back port the resource.... Initial thoughts is to use Parameters resource e.g. https://simplifier.net/nhsdigitalspine/nhsenglandparameterssubscriptionstatus

R4B is introducing some of the new Subscription resources. Have you looked at the Subscription Backport IG?
Kevin Mayfield (Jan 11 2022 at 15:42):
So other solution is to move to R4B
Gino Canessa (Jan 11 2022 at 18:44):
We initially ported the new functionality to base R4, but without SubscriptionTopic and SubscriptionStatus there were a lot of parameters and 'defined out of band' areas of the spec.
If it's a hard requirement, I would be happy to discuss... but it was pretty ugly.
