The CARIN Consumer Directed Payer Data Exchange Implementation Guide is also known as the CARIN IG for Blue Button® Implementation Guide.

Valuable guidance on FSH and FHIR slicing was provided by Chris Moesel. The capability statements were developed with tools and valuable guidance from Eric Haas.
