Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Proficiency Practice Exam

This tests understanding of where an implementation’s capabilities and supported operations are described in FHIR. The CapabilityStatement resource is the authoritative description of what a server or client can do: which resources are supported, what interactions are allowed (read, vread, update, patch, delete, search, etc.), which search parameters exist, supported data formats (JSON/XML), and any other capabilities or operations the system exposes. It is typically exposed at the server’s metadata endpoint (often retrieved with a GET to /metadata) so clients can discover exactly how to interact with that implementation. Other resources serve different purposes: StructureDefinition defines the shape and constraints of resources or extensions; CodeSystem defines a set of codes; ValueSet defines a collection of codes. They do not document the overall capabilities of an implementation.
