Version History

History

This implementation guide is based on two previously published guides.

• FinnishScheduling R4, published in 2020, presented the Finnish logical model for appointments in FHIR.
• FinnishAppointment, published in 2021, concentrated more on actual interactions performed by systems when booking and managing appointments.

Both of those guides were published in Simplifier. When starting to work on the Finnish FHIR Base Profiles in 2022, HL7 Finland moved to a different workflow for implementation guides, utilizing GitHub, FHIR Shorthand, and the build.fhir.org infrastructure.

After the initial work on Finnish FHIR Base Profiles and Finnish Implementation Guide for SMART App Launch the community decided to update the scheduling related implementation guides. The logical model for appointments had evolved, and new insights on implementability had beed gathered from implementation efforts. New requirements were also presented.

This implementation guide is the result of that activity. It was considered best to consolidate the information in a single implementation guide.

The old implementation guides in Simplifier may still be a useful reference.

This Implementation Guide

Version 1.0.0 is the first official release of this consolidated implementation guide. See the history of published versions in the publication directory.

You can track the changes between released snapshot versions through the Previous Version Comparison section of the QA report. You can also check changes between ballot and release versions through the releases in GitHub.

The development continues, with the intention to get definitions from this implementation guide into Normative level (see the standards development process of the FHIR specification), and to extend the coverage of resources.

Development snapshots will be published throughout the development, ballot, and maintenance cycles.
