The FHIR specification defines a set of resources, and an infrastructure for handling resources. In order to use FHIR to create solutions for integration requirements, implementers must map their problems to resources and their content.
The Resource List provides views of the resources organized in several different ways, and is the primary entry point to the resources.
This page describes the resources and their functional intent in more detail to assist implementers to understand their purpose and scope, and their supporting classifications.
