FHIR Extensions Pack v5.1.0 (2024-04-27)

This page is part of the FHIR Core Extensions Registry (v5.1.0: Release 5.1) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) v5.0.0. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

2.18 R4/R5 Conversion Registry

Page standards status: Informative

This specification provides transforms between R4 and R5 for most resources that were in R4. These transforms are expressed using the FHIR Mapping Language, and serve as formal documentation of the relationship between the resource structures in R4 and R5, and can also be used to convert between the formats automatically.

The following table summarizes the state of the R5:R5 maps for each resource type, along with the data types.

These maps are intended to be a starting base, and not the complete solution for your data conversion work - since in some cases the complete context needed for a particular usecase is only available closer to runtime. Additionally, the maps in their current state place most focus on bringing the content from R4 over to R5, and less so on the reverse conversion - that is, they don't make use of the version-specific extensions on the R5 to R4 data downgrade yet. Contributions to continue development of the maps further are welcome as pull requests to HL7/fhir-extensions.

About the transforms

The transforms are published in the NPM package hl7.fhir.uv.extension. The java validator can check the transforms for correctness. To do this: 

java -jar validator.jar 
  -version 5.0 hl7.fhir.uv.extension -ig hl7.fhir.uv.extension -alt-version R4 -alt-version R4 -output {local-file-name} -output-style compact

Note that in the transforms, all the resources from the prior standards have the version of the base standard added, e.g. http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Resource becomes http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/4.0/Resource for R4. The versioned canonical format of http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Resource|4.0 is not used to prevent conflicts with existing uses of the canonical resource version in the prior standards, and because the different base versions each define their own resource space.

Transforms are tested using the following method:

  1. For each example resource in the R4 release of the FHIR specification that has a transform to R5
  2. apply the transform to R5
  3. validate against the R5 specification
  4. apply the reverse transform back to R4
  5. compare the outcome with the original resource - ideally, it should be identical
