Release Bourbon: Automated FHIR® validation and ZIB Viewer in Conformancelab
This summer release brings automatic FHIR® validation and a new ZIB Viewer — so you can immediately see what's correct and what isn't.
Team Interoplab
With Release Bourbon, we’re taking a significant step forward in how Conformancelab provides feedback on FHIR® implementations. The summer release introduces two new capabilities: automatic validation at multiple layers, and a configurable ZIB Viewer.
Validation across syntax, semantics, and terminology
The new validation screen — internally called the “Donut Screen” — automatically validates FHIR® resources at four levels:
- Syntax — is the FHIR® structure technically correct?
- Semantics — does the field meaning check out?
- Terminology — are the codes used valid in the associated ValueSets?
- Fixed values — are mandatory constraints respected?
That means our simulators now validate automatically as much as possible with every interaction. Immediate feedback, without manually searching through logs.
ZIB Viewer
The ZIB Viewer is a configurable component that displays healthcare data in table format. You see FHIR® resources alongside their validation results and relevant code snippets — all in one screen.
Both capabilities are integrated into the Notified Pull Simulator and the Test PHR.
Why this matters
Interoperability testing is complex enough. Our approach has always been: make the tooling as transparent as possible, so teams can adjust quickly. With this release, we’re taking a concrete step in that direction.
