IHE FHIR Profile Publication/Creating new Profiles

Getting Started – Using the default content

These are the steps to create another implementation guide from the base profile. To provide an example, we describe how to change the profile “base” to a new profile called “mmm”. Of course you can use an name as long as the file names match the references.

1. Copying / renaming implementation guide
2. Adding pages
3. Adding resources

The details:

Copying / renaming implementation guide

Rename the file “base.xml” to “mmm.xml”. Compared to the “base” profile, we end up with this:

222x164px

Edit the mmm.xml and change the id, url, and optionally name as appropriate:

Original:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ImplementationGuide xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir%22>
  <id value="base" />
  <url value="http://ihe.net/fhir/base%22 />
   <name value="ImplementationGuide5" />
   <status value="draft" />

...

Updated:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ImplementationGuide xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir%22>
  <id value="mmm" />
  <url value="http://ihe.net/fhir/mmm%22 />
  <name value="Mobile Medication Management" />
  <status value="draft" />

...

At this moment you can rebuild to make sure things still work ok.

Adding pages

You can add pages under the top page, which is the Table of Contents.

It is recommended to keep page named “index” – you can change the existing index.xml page if you want.

Add the x(ht)ml file in the content\pagecontent folder, for example a “welcome” page.

237x181px

Add an entry in the implementationGuide (mmm.xml) to point to the file you added.

<page>
  <nameUrl value="toc.html" />
    <title value="Table of Contents" />
    <generation value="html" />
  <page>
    <nameUrl value="index.html" />
    <title value="Main Page" />
    <generation value="html" />
  </page>
  <page>
    <nameUrl value="welcome.html" />
    <title value="Welcome Page" />
   <generation value="html" />
  </page>
  <page>
    <nameUrl value="artifacts.html" />
    <title value="Artifacts" />
    <generation value="html" />
  </page>
</page>

Adding resources

place the resource as an XML file in the content\resources folder.

The file must be named according to the convention

capabilitystatement-ihe-acr-xxxxxxxx.xml

where acr is the profile acronym and xxxxxxxxx is the object - the transaction, the actor, etc.

402x201px

place a reference in the implementation guide file (mmm.xml).

Just add a section like this. Make sure you point to a package that exists in the mmm.xml file.

<resource>
  <reference>
  <reference value="CapabilityStatement/ihe-mmm-requestplacer" />
  </reference>
  <name value="IHE MMM Request placer" />
  <description value="Request Placer Specifications" />
  <package value="Package1" />
</resource>

The resulting file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ImplementationGuide xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir%22>
    <id value="base" />
    <url value="http://ihe.net/fhir/base%22 />
