HL7 WGM: FAST Testing & Versioning

We will continue our discussion on FHIR Version awareness.

In this session we will take a walk from the eyes of a FHIR Implementer.

We will take a deeper dive into ONC SVAP - https://www.healthit.gov/topic/standards-version-advancement-process-svap

US Core 3.1.1 - http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU3.1.1/ (which is currently heavily being leveraged by HL7 FHIR Accelerator Da Vinci)

US Core 4.0.0 - http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU4/

https://confluence.hl7.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=184912336

We will focus on one Profile - Allergy Intolerance
- STU3.1.1 - http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU3.1.1/StructureDefinition-us-core-allergyintolerance.html

- STU4 http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/STU4/StructureDefinition-us-core-allergyintolerance.html

By examining the differences between these profile versions, and the impact to potential implementers.

FAST FHIR Testing & Versioning - HL7 January WGM

This HL7 WGM Session will cover ongoing discussion about FHIR Testing and FHIR Version awareness between FHIR Client requests and FHIR Servers.  Following up on our HL7 WGM from September 19th discussion - which introduced the FAST effort around Testing and Version awareness.

Join us to further discuss:
1) Various FAST FHIR initiatives, including the National Directory IG, Security, and other IG efforts
2) FAST approach to Testing FHIR Implementations
3) Report out on FAST Testing observations from the Jan 2023 FHIR Connectathon
4) Map out future FHIR Testing efforts for May and Sept 2023, including multi-CA support for security and multi-actor multi-IG workflow, as we start to stitch together multiple FHIR IG's include single workflow "Test Suite"
     - FHIR Client queries the national directory for FHIR End-points
     - FHIR Client queries a FHIR Server for FHIR Capability Statement
     - FHIR Client evaluates FHIR Server for supported FHIR Version, FHIR IG's and FHIR Profiles
     - FHIR Client negoiates FHIR Server security requirements (FAST UDAP IG) and OAuth
     - FHIR Client navigates using FAST FHIR Intermediaries (FAST Intermediary) IG
     - FHIR Client queries FHIR Server for FHIR resources (US CORE, CARIN BB, DA VINCI, etc.)
     - FHIR Client uses FAST Digitial Identity and Patient Matching IG

Open discussion on additional FHIR Implementation challenges and FHIR At Scale Taskforce (FAST) initiatives

FAST Testing & Versioning Discussions

Room: Parlor Suite #9006

1) FHIR Version, Profile Versions, and IG published version - review best-practices, and recommendations from the FAST Accelerator on how IG Authors could provide guidance to implementers to ensure we address "Continuous Interoperability" across an integrated ecosystem, where multiple organizations may have implemented and be supporting various versions of FHIR exchanges.

2) FHIR Testing - wrapping up our Connectathon 31 and planning for Connectathon 32 (Jan 2023 in Las Vegas) - we will review and recap on what we have learned through testing, and how we can integrate Testing into the future FAST Accelerator and workgroup projects from IG Authoring, IG Publishing, (pre/prep) Connectathon, IG Maturity, and report-out on implementation coverage.  These items will initially be supported through guidance documents, and recommendations to the FAST Accelerators own work-product, and eventually to the many other FHIR Accelerator efforts (occurring at Scale).

3) FHIR Certification, how can we integrate the FHIR Version and FHIR Testing efforts into the current CMS, ONC and other Certification processes to ensure FHIR Client, and FHIR Server and FHIR IG's are both Testable, and Version aware.

4) FHIR Connectathon, how can we leverage FHIR Testing in order to report out FHIR IG Conformance across the implementation community.  What techniques have we developed to align various FHIR Test Tooling to ensure we can report FHIR IG Testing Coverage (and any gaps), how can we track gaps in FHIR Testing a related FHIR IG, and report future progress (at future Connectathon).  How can we report out the coverage and conformance of any FHIR IG Reference Implementation (RI) - and its published FHIR Capability Statement.

5) FHIR IG Balloting, how can we work as a community to create a set of recommended best-practices as part of the IG Balloting process.

6) Aligning FHIR Testing, and FHIR Version discussion with ONC SVAP, and HL7 Standards and Implementation division objectives.
