About Forge
Conformance Resources (”Profiles”) are an important aspect of the FHIR standard. They allow you to tailor FHIR to your needs and define how exchanging partners use the FHIR specification. Forge is the only graphical user-friendly interface for developing FHIR profiles, extensions, logical models, search parameters and operation definitions.
Forge is part of a Simplifier plan. Together with Firely Terminal, they are unique in the FHIR ecosystem and are widely used by start-ups, large health tech corporations and nation-scale standards organizations worldwide, for easy and consistent FHIR specification development.
Profiling
Constraining a base FHIR resource or existing FHIR Profile to fit a use case, by changing cardinalities, creating and adding extensions and setting Value Set bindings.
Logical Modeling
Model a data model in the FHIR infrastructure, without being limited to the core FHIR resources. A perfect step for scoping out a data model in a structured way, before mapping to FHIR’s data model itself.
Validation
Validation of any FHIR resource out of the box through various means. It includes validation against the FHIR specification and its parent resources, validation against the profiles a FHIR instance claims to conform to and validation against custom business rules that can be defined in FHIRPath.
Smooth integration
Integrate Forge with Simplifier.net to synchronize a full local FHIR project with a Simplifier project with one click. Integrate with online FHIR servers and FHIR registries, to download and publish profiles.
