Release of WHO SMART Base v0.2.0: Implementation Guide Based on FHIR

Details

This implementation guide (smart.who.int.base#0.2.0) provides foundational conformance resources to be used across all WHO SMART Guidelines implementation guides. Technically, it is based on the FHIR R4 standard and incorporates several dependencies, including HL7 Terminology (THO) 5.5.0 R4 and multiple FHIR Extensions Packs (R4, R5). It also integrates capabilities from Canonical Resource Management Infrastructure (CRMI) and Structured Data Capture (SDC) using CQL profiles. This draft version, as of April 2, 2025, is generated based on FHIR 4.0.1. The Cross Version Analysis confirms that the features used are unchanged in R4B, ensuring compatibility with R4B systems. This guideline serves as a foundational layer for various healthcare information systems developed by WHO, playing a critical role in standardizing and ensuring interoperability within international healthcare IT.
