IG Testing

Important note: This implementation guide is not for general use yet - it is being used to test the approach of creating a FHIR IG/Package for the NZHTS service.

NZHTS Content

This FHIR IG contains terminology artefacts from the New Zealand Health Terminology service so they can be included as a package dependency in other Implementation guides that use NZHTS mastered terminology.

The IG is generated from a snapshot downloaded from the NZHTS FHIR API. The intention would be to release a new version of the IG/package with each NZHTS release (currently monthly).

Version

This is an R4 IG. None of the features it uses are changed in R4B, so it can be used as is with R4B systems. Packages for both R4 (tewhatuora.nzhts.r4) and R4B (tewhatuora.nzhts.r4b) are available.

Dependencies

Package hl7.fhir.uv.extensions.r4#5.2.0 This IG defines the global extensions - the ones defined for everyone. These extensions are always in scope wherever FHIR is being used (built Mon, Feb 10, 2025 21:45+1100+11:00)
