Implementation Guide created with FSH and IG-Publisher
The software tools E-PIX, gPAS, and gICS are used in numerous research institutions and projects to develop Trusted Third Party Services (TTP). In order to better support the use of these tools in FHIR-based TTP infrastructures, the aim of this project is to describe the necessary profiles, extensions, and value sets, as well as their use (in the form of implementation guides). Language.
This IG 'gPAS' focuses on operations, code systems and value sets relevant for gPAS.
The IG is available from GitHub Pages.
The generated package (TGZ-format) is available for download from: Link
