Editor's Notes

  • #2 Dit is je startpagina voor je titel en je naam. Geen footer op de eerste pagina. Gebruik eventueel de alternatieve startpagina met eventueel een eigen foto (Home/Layout)
  • #5 Computable => Validation, Code generation, UML generation, UI generation, compare profiles etc.
  • #7 Forge has been downloaded from: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia And Herzegowina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam, … Corporate Forge users from: Epic, Cerner, McKesson, Allscripts, GE, Philips Healthcare, IBM, Samsung, Fujitsu, Agfa, Roche, SAP, Accenture, … Organizations that use Forge: NIST, IEEE, HSCIC (UK), NHS (UK), NEHTA (Aus), Nictiz (NL), …
  • #9 Instead, switch to live application demo; fall back to sheet
  • #10 Skip this sheet; just briefly mention that older Forge releases for historic FHIR versions will remain available for download
  • #11 Suggestion: quickly demonstrate some basic features Open existing profile Demonstrate live validation; e.g. enter invalid cardinality constraint, show live validation warning, correct Upload to Simplifier – IMPORTANT: Enable Options/Save snapshot component!
  • #14 Highlights: Search box (anonymous), Feedback button (encouraged!), Sign up (to publish), browse FHIR Core resource profiles, download Forge About versioning: currently supports FHIR DSTU2; in the future, Simplifier will support profiles from different FHIR versions (incl. STU3)
  • #15 Note: Code Generation is not yet available (planned for future release) Very simple to integrate your own apps; contact us for more information & support We are planning to implement support for paid (commercial) apps, so you can monetize on our platform
  • #17 IG editor supports special instructions to render dynamic content. Syntax: {{KEYWORD:PROJECT_ID/RESOURCE_ID} Examples: {{structure:Forge/MyPatient}} => render tree structure of profile “MyPatient” in project “Forge” {{table:Forge/MyPatient}} => render tabular view of profile “MyPatient” in project “Forge” {{uml:Forge/MyPatient}} => render UML view of profile “MyPatient” in project “Forge” (WORK IN PROGRESS; CURRENTLY DISABLED) {{index:root}} => generate a table of contents with navigation links {{index:current}} => generate navigation links to children of the current page
