Stream: IG creation
Topic: Rules around creating extensions in an IG?
Gay Dolin (Sep 15 2020 at 19:02):
Within PCWG for the past month or so we have been discussing the concept of "ownership" of "custodian" of a Care Plan and how FHIR Care Plan resource is missing this.
I finally created the JIRA for this: https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-28544
We also discussed, in the meantime- since the NIH NIDDK TEP feels strongly that there be a Care Plan "owner", within the MCC IG that I should create an extension for this. I have learned that though extensions in FHIR are welcomed - I see the statement,
"To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is strict governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Although any implementer can define and use extensions, there is a set of requirements that must be met as part of their use and definition."
But, I am not seeing what exactly these "governance rules" and "requirements" are.
Are the rules here? https://www.hl7.org/fhir/extensibility.html
What is involved in complying with the "governance"?

@Grahame Grieve Do you know what "set of requirements" we were referring to?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 15 2020 at 19:51):
that's very old language, and those are in general statements of principle
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 15 2020 at 20:26):
But in practice, there are no hoops to jump through, correct?
Should we yank that language?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 15 2020 at 22:11):
well, we should do something about it. Providing some actual guidance would be better than removing language saying there should be criteria and governance

FMG topic or FHIR-I topic?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 15 2020 at 22:20):
both, I think
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 15 2020 at 22:21):
@Yunwei Wang can you put this on our FHIR-I agenda? I'll poke Anne about adding it to the FMG agenda
