Description : Comprehensive FHIR Conformance Validation and Testing

Created By : arun-ramanan@netspective.in

Created On : 01-11-2024

Description

To ensure adherence to FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards based on the Implementation Guide (IG). The test aims to validate conformance to FHIR profiles, security standards, and operational best practices across all relevant endpoints and resources.

Test Cases to Execute

1. Resource-Level Validation

  • Verify adherence to mandatory and optional FHIR elements for specific resources.
  • Ensure support for required extensions and custom profiles per the IG.
  • Validate use of terminology bindings to specified Value Sets.

2. Capability Statement Validation

  • Verify the API's Capability Statement includes all mandatory elements defined in the IG.
  • Confirm supported operations, interactions, and resource types.

4. Terminology Services Testing

  • Verify the use of correct Value Sets, Code Systems, and terminology bindings.
  • Test $validate-code and $expand operations for terminology validation.

10. Audit Logging

  • Validate that all operations are logged as per FHIR security standards.
  • Confirm compliance with audit event structures defined in FHIR.

Environment

  • Test Environment: Test server with FHIR-compliant configuration.
  • FHIR Version: As specified in the IG (e.g., R4, R5).
  • Scope Host URL/IP: Defined API endpoint or test instance.

Tools Utilized

  • FHIR Validator: Validate resource conformance to FHIR profiles.

Objectives

  • Validate compliance with FHIR Implementation Guide requirements.
  • Identify deviations from FHIR standards and IG conformance.

Execution Strategy

Pre-Test Preparation:

  • Review the FHIR IG and confirm test prerequisites.
  • Load test data based on IG-compliant resource examples.

Test Execution:

  • Run automated tests for conformance using the FHIR Validator.

Post-Test Reporting:

  • Document test results and any deviations from expected behavior.
  • Provide actionable recommendations for resolving identified issues.
