This section provides information which will be useful for FHIR implementers, including information about available libraries, tools, and other similar resources, as well as where to seek help.
In addition to the content below, a number of implementation resources can be found on the Downloads Page .
This module also contains some specific documentation that relates to issues commonly encountered by developers:

The
following
reference
HL7
Confluence
has
a
list
of
public
test
servers
that
have
been
created
by
the
FHIR
team
community
and
made
available
to
help
implementers
test
their
code.
While
the
reference
servers
are
not
considered
to
be
a
normative
part
of
the
FHIR
specification,
the
maintainers
make
every
effort
to
ensure
that
they
are
fully
compliant.

These
libraries
may
be
used
by
developers
to
quickly
add
FHIR
capabilities
to
their
applications.
A
number
of
tools
are
available
to
profilers
wishing
to
create
profiles
for
use
in
their
implementations.
A
current
list
of
tools
can
be
found
here
on
HL7
Confluence.
(See
the
conformance
module
for
information
on
profiling.)
A

of
tools
are
available
to

who
want
to
test
FHIR

for
conformance
to

The

with

Most
of

has
moved
away
from
the
specification,
but
generally
there
will
also
be
endpoints
available

a
very
recent
