Redefined FMM

Page standards status: Informative

Note: This page derived off of FHIR core Maturity Model

There are Maturity Levels on artifacts, all the maturity level numbers are expected to be consistent with HL7 definition of Maturity Levels (aka FMM).

All artifacts in this specification are assigned a "Maturity Level" modeled after the well-known Capability Maturity Model Levels. The Maturity level can be used by implementers to judge how advanced - and therefore stable - an artifact is. The following Maturity levels are defined:

Level	CO BHA Definition
0	Draft: the resource or profile (artifact) has been published on the current build. This level is synonymous with Draft
1	The artifact produces no warnings during the build process and the responsible team has indicated that they consider the artifact substantially complete and ready for implementation.
2	The artifact has been tested and successfully supports interoperability among at least three independently developed systems leveraging most of the scope (e.g. at least 80% of the core data elements) using semi-realistic data and scenarios based on at least one of the declared scopes of the artifact (e.g. at a connectathon).
3	The artifact has been verified by the work group as meeting the Conformance Resource Quality Guidelines; has been subject to a round of formal balloting; has at least 10 distinct implementer comments recorded in the tracker drawn from at least 3 organizations resulting in at least one substantive change
4	The artifact has been tested across its scope (see below), published in a formal publication (e.g. Trial Implementation), and implemented in multiple prototype projects. As well, the responsible work group agrees the artifact is sufficiently stable to require implementer consultation for subsequent non-backward compatible changes
5	The artifact has been published in two formal publication release cycles at Maturity Level 1+ (i.e. Trial Implementation) and has been implemented in at least 5 independent production systems in more than one country
Normative	the artifact is now considered stable and will not change

Tested across scope means:

• For each example context, the artifact has either been: reviewed and approved by a domain expert for that scope area, mapped to an existing implemented scope-area-specific standard or tested in an implementation

The Maturity level is strongly related to stability; the higher the maturity level, the more controls are enforced to restrict breaking changes to the resource.
