Welcome to Zarish FHIR Profiles

FHIR Profile Definitions for the ZarishSphere Platform

This documentation provides comprehensive information about FHIR profiles, extensions, and implementation guides for the ZarishSphere Platform.

🎯 What are FHIR Profiles?

FHIR Profiles are constraints and extensions applied to base FHIR resources to meet specific implementation requirements. They define:

  • Required elements: Which fields must be present
  • Cardinality constraints: How many times an element can appear
  • Terminology bindings: Which code systems and value sets to use
  • Extensions: Additional data elements not in base FHIR

🚀 Quick Start
