CH Core Implementation Guide (R4)

Core FHIR profiles for Switzerland

Building the Implementation Guide

You can build the Implementation Guide with the IG Publisher.

• For building the Implementation Guide you need to install Jekyll.

• Clone this repository and change into its main directory.

• Download the latest version of IG Publisher:

wget https://github.com/HL7/fhir-ig-publisher/releases/latest/download/publisher.jar -O publisher.jar

• Build the Implementation Guide:

java -Xms3550m -Xmx3550m -jar publisher.jar -ig ig.ini

Validate a Resource

If you are in the main directory of the Implementation Guide you can check your example against the specification of this IG with the Validator.

• Download the latest version of Validator:

wget https://github.com/hapifhir/org.hl7.fhir.core/releases/latest/download/validator_cli.jar -O validator_cli.jar

• Validate the resource against a profile (e.g. ch-core-patient):

java -jar validator_cli.jar [file path] -version 4.0.1 -ig output -profile http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-core/StructureDefinition/ch-core-patient

Validating without Building the IG

If you do not want to build the IG locally, you can validate your example against the Implementation Guide with the Validator as follows:

• Download the latest version of Validator:

wget https://github.com/hapifhir/org.hl7.fhir.core/releases/latest/download/validator_cli.jar -O validator_cli.jar

• Validate the resource:

java -jar validator_cli.jar [file path] -version 4.0.1 -ig ch.fhir.ig.ch-core#current -profile http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-core/StructureDefinition/ch-core-patient

In case the current published IG (#current) is not found, replace #current with the current version (e.g. #1.0.0) of the published IG (http://fhir.ch/ig/ch-core/history.html)
