Barrier

Why is this a barrier?

Existing Industry Solutions?

1

Requirements

Core Capabilities are still in the process of being defined. In order to establish testing and certification of FHIR at Scale, we must document clear requirements in a format that provides clear understanding of how to accomplish “success”.

Contingencies

Testing and Certification of FHIR at Scale depends on baseline FHIR Conformance as well as integration of barriers to applicable FHIR Implementation Guides.

Tooling

FHIR implementation is a complex process that requires validation of several layers. Development of FHIR is often done with independently written tests. Often these tests do not include validation of base FHIR resources or do not establish adequate validation.

Independent validation through automated tooling ensures a higher level of conformance.

Versioning

Change is inevitable. A successful testing and certification program will require processes and tooling that are nimble enough to handle a continuous cycle of updates to the FHIR specification.


5

Timing

Testing of FHIR clients and servers should happen early and often. Encouraging use of FAST Core Competency Requirements as systems are being built (test driven development) will empower rapid success.
