This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v0.05: DSTU 1 Draft). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions
The FHIR specification presently defines the following resources:
Of these, only the Infrastructure resources have undergone any degree of vetting. The remaining administrative and clinical resources exist to provide a sense of what such resources will look like eventually. Over the coming months, the number of resources and the number of those that have been vetted by HL7 committees will grow. A list of hypothesized list of resources can be found on the HL7 wiki. Feel free to add any you feel are missing or engage with one of the HL7 Work Groups to submit a proposal to define a resource of particular interest.
