Define Custom FHIR Resource

To create a custom FHIR resource, you must define a StructureDefinition, generate SearchParameters and OperationDefinitions, and configure resource YAML. This requires specifying the resource name, URL namespace, and base type, then generating both snapshot and differential definitions.

Defining a new FHIR resource type requires generating a StructureDefinition, SearchParameters, OperationDefinitions, and resource configuration YAML. These artifacts must include both snapshot and differential definitions with proper base paths and element typing.

Generating FHIR StructureDefinitions with snapshot and differential elements involves extending FHIR with custom resources by defining proper base paths and element typing. You must ensure compatibility with DomainResource inheritance to meet exacting FHIR profiling requirements.

You need to extend FHIR with custom resources when introducing entirely new custom domains that existing resources cannot cover. This involves creating a brand-new FHIR resource type and generating the full artifact set, including StructureDefinitions, SearchParameters, and OperationDefinitions.

Yes, you can use DomainResource inheritance when defining a custom FHIR resource. The generation process ensures compatibility with DomainResource inheritance while producing the required StructureDefinitions, SearchParameters, OperationDefinitions, and resource configuration YAML.

The best way to configure SearchParameters and OperationDefinitions for a new FHIR resource is through automated generation as part of the full artifact set. This ensures proper integration with the StructureDefinition and resource configuration YAML, meeting exacting FHIR profiling requirements.
