FHIR Support Links

Introduction

This page is a registry of the various places where support for FHIR implementations can be found.

Asking Questions

There are 3 main places to ask implementation questions:

• [FHIR Community Forum]: Questions/Discussion about the FHIR specification and the implementation process
• [StackOverflow]: Developer/Programming type questions, mainly about the reference implementations - see [StackOverflow guidance]
• [FHIR Chat Channels]: Interactive discussion about FHIR issues
• [FHIR Change Requests]: If you want to submit a change request, please read this page.

If you're not sure where to go, try the FHIR Community Forum first.
