Topic: Validation done by FSH

We authored a collection of FHIR profiles using FSH and it passed the sushi compiler. We would like to demonstrate technical accuracy of these profiles. The question is that what kind of validation has been done by FSH sushi compiler. do we still need to run the HAPI FHIR validation on generated FHIR artifacts? What else aspects should we consider in terms of technical accuracy? @Eric Prud'hommeaux @David Booth

Hi @Guoqian Jiang - SUSHI generally validates those things that can be easily validated (such as cardinality checks) -- but it is NOT a full validator. It does not validate anything having to do with fhirpath (constraints, slices, etc), nor does it do full conformance checking on profiles. We definitely recommend validating your instances using a proper validator after SUSHI exports them. Since SUSHI is usually used alongside the IG Publisher (which does validation), we made the intentional decision not to invest time and resources in re-inventing that wheel.

@Chris Moesel Thanks much for your notes. This is very helpful. We will see what we can do with other validators. @Eric Prud'hommeaux @David Booth @Claude Nanjo
