Creating an Implementation Guide with FHIR Shorthand

FHIR Shorthand (“FSH”) is a friendly language for defining the content of IGs, and more recently, logical models and FHIR resources. Making simple declarative statements, you can define a wide variety of FHIR artifacts such as profiles, extensions, and value sets. FSH language itself is an HL7 standard (STU) and is currently used in over 100 IG projects worldwide. We will demonstrate FSH Online, where you can interactively go back and forth between FSH and JSON, and share your FSH examples with other users. Lastly, if you have an existing IG and you are not yet using FSH, you can convert your IG into a FSH project using GoFSH, to make it easier to manage, extend, and maintain.
