FHIR DSTU is published

Feb 3, 2014

We have now published the DSTU version (draft standard for trial use - effectively a beta) of FHIR at http://hl7.org/fhir. Note that this is now stable and suitable for production implementations, and that development moves to http://hl7.org/fhir-develop, though I think we’ll all be taking a rest before starting work again.

Please note that we are serious about the draft standard for trial use. Implementers should read this section before depending on the specification: http://hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/dstu.html.

Getting to this point has been a huge team effort, and so many people have contributed. There’s a formal credits page here: http://hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/credits.html, though this doesn’t cover many people who contributed in a less formal - but not less real - fashion. I also wrote a brief foreword as a separate post.
