Implemented new FHIR release 4.6.0 for R5

This release contains the new FHIR release 4.6.0 for R5. This FHIR release is still experimental and is not official published by HL7. See more information about 4.6.0: http://hl7.org/fhir/2021May/

Known problems for 4.6.0

  • FHIR-32785 DeviceDefinition has components which should have explicitNames.
  • Profiles-resources.xml:
    • FHIR-32780 References to valueSets has a double version, which is not correct. For example:
      <valueSet value="http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/administrative-gender|4.6.0|4.6.0" />
    • FHIR-32781 The type of Citation.differential[0].summary and Citation.snapshot[0].summary is ContactDetail but should be BackboneElement
    • FHIR-32779 Several structuredefintions contain bindings with an unknown extension: http://hl7.org/fhir/build/StructureDefinition/definition
  • Resource SubscriptionTopic
    • FHIR-32783 resourceTrigger: contains an element resourceType, which is conflicting with the property resourceType which informs the parser which resource type this is
  • Example.json.zip FHIR-32784:
    • conceptmaps.json: entry[14] contains a conceptmap with a single identifier (no array)
    • conceptmaps.json: entry[15] contains a conceptmap with a single identifier (no array)
    • All examples which contain a questionnaire (files end with -questionnaire.json) are invalid, because the type of a Questionnaire.Item cannot be choice. This should be coding.
  • Fhir-single.xsd:
    • FHIR-32778 Missing definition for ResourceType and ResourceType-list
  • FHIR-32782 Package hl7.fhir.r5.core-4.6.0 does not contain all the searchparameters anymore.

Terminology Services

We changed the behavior of our terminology services slightly to align error handling between the local and external terminology services. This behavior isn't well documented in the FHIR specification so we took a look at the a few of the bigger terminology servers to see how they react to different scenario's. This resulted in the following changes:

LocalTerminologyService:

  • When encountering error we now throw FhirOperationException (404, 422 or 500) instead of a flavor of TerminologyServiceException.
    • 404: When a value set can't be found by the LocalTerminologyServices
    • 422: For incorrect input parameters, or asked for a too complex expansion.
    • 500: For unexpected errors caused by our code, that aren't the users fault.
  • ValueSetValidateCode will check for duplicate input parameters and throw a FhirOperationException (422) when encountered
  • ValueSetValidateCode will check if either a ValueSet of context is present in the input parameters and throw a FhirOperationException (422) if neither is present.

FallBackTerminologyService:

  • Catch FhirOperationException instead of TerminologyServiceException

ExternalTerminologyService:

  • Don't check for errors in the input parameters, let the external terminology services handle that.

Validator:

  • Always provide the context of a coded element as input parameter when asking a terminology service for validation.
  • Catch FhirOperationException instead of TerminologyServiceException
