About

HL7 Canada Welcome to the Canadian FHIR implementation community forum. The purpose of this forum is to collaborate on areas of FHIR implementation that will advance implementations across Canada, while contributing to the global adoption of FHIR. The objective is to develop pan-Canadian approaches to constraining and extending FHIR. The community has been active since January 2016 and has been growing ever since!

The community has several streams of activity:

Topical workstreams
Monthly community calls to share workstream progress and other FHIR-related news
A general forum to ask questions and share information

The table below provides more details on the workstream activity:
