Expectations to review FHIR IGs before balloting begins


FHIR IG publishers discussed current challenges:

  • Having a different balloting calendar than other products
  • New expectations FHIR STU IGs must be tested at a connectathon before requesting the Notice of Intent to Ballot (NIB)
  • Still working through tooling issues, breaks in tooling impacts firm timelines
  • There is a Davinci Accelerator project that includes public health altering.  Public Health work group has not been involved in the project.
    • Elysa Jones with OASIS mentioned the alerting standard already available for 15 years.

Recommendations for those new to FHIR IG development:

  • Have the FHIR balloting schedule nailed down
  • Tooling changes all of the time, plan on testing two weeks ahead of schedule if issues arise
  • Be aware of the FHIR management process and subscribe to Zulip
  • The current challenges will be discussed today in Q4 with the FHIR management group and possibly discussed in the steering division meeting tonight.

There is a PH WG project expectation page, members were asked to review and provide feedback.
