US Core

In this tutorial we will guide you how to setup US Core FHIR Implementation Guide.

Setup Aidbox with US Core IG version 6.1.0

Follow getting started guide. Add the dependency:

AIDBOX_FHIR_PACKAGES=hl7.fhir.r4.core#4.0.1:hl7.fhir.us.core#6.1.0

Validate example resources against US Core profiles

The sample of the Patient resource is invalid because it does not comply with the required keys, identifier and gender. It violates the us-core-6 FHIRPath constraint due to the absence of the family and given properties and the data-absent-reason extension in the name property. Additionally, it violates the terminology binding on the ombCategory extension.
