The list of resources is growing as FHIR is developed. 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.
