Introduction

The WHO IG Template (ig-template-who) is a FHIR Implementation Guide template that defines the layout, look and feel of FHIR Implementation guides (IG) that are intended to be published using the HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide Publisher. This template extends CQ Framework's FHIR Content Implementation Guide template which ultimately extends the base HL7 FHIR IG template. The package name for this template is who.fhir.template.

Documentation on how FHIR IG Publisher Templates are defined and consumed can be found here

Lineage

The WHO IG Template's immediate base is the CQ Framework content IG template. The full lineage - traced back to fhir.base.template - is represented below:

├── fhir.base.template (https://github.com/HL7/ig-template-base)
│   ├── cqf.fhir.template (https://github.com/cqframework/cqf-ig-template)
│   │   ├──  cqf.fhir.content.template (https://github.com/cqframework/cqf-content-ig-template)
│   │   │   ├── who.fhir.template (https://github.com/who-int/ig-template-who)

Usage

You should be somewhat familiar with the construction and consumption of FHIR IG publisher templates. To leverage this template in your Implementation Guide, just declare it as the IG's template, by setting the 'template' setting in the ig.ini file of your IG like the following example:

[IG]
ig = input/core.xml
template = who.fhir.template
usage-stats-opt-out = false

Getting Started

See the Quick Start page for a guide on how to start a new IG that uses this template.
