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 that are used in FHIR NZ FHIR implementation guides, so the terminology can be included as a package dependency in IGs that use NZHTS mastered terminology.

The IG will be 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)

Package hl7.fhir.uv.tools.r4#0.8.0 This IG defines the extensions that the tools use internally. Some of these extensions are content that are being evaluated for elevation into the main spec, and others are tooling concerns (built Tue, Aug 5, 2025 20:09+1000+10:00)
