How to add profiles via FHIR REST api (HAPI)

Question

I looked at the documentation for creating profiles for FHIR, and I used Forge to create some xml, which I believe is valid for describing a profile. I cannot find in the documentation where it actually states what request I need to make in the RESTful api in order to actually add a new profile.

Any ideas?

You can, of course, just “store” your profiles on the FHIR server POSTwith their FHIR endpoint, but you probably mean: can I let instances be checked against StructureDefinition?

, , , :

• FHIR , StructureDefinition, url (StructureDefinition.url) meta.profile, . POST :

  <Patient>
    <id value="44Q3"/>
    <meta>
      <profile value="http://example.org/StructureDefinition/PatientNL"/>
    </meta>
  </Patient>

• $validate FHIR (. http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-operations.html#validate)
