Upcoming Internal Validator Improvements

The Inferno team is rolling out a key update that replaces Inferno’s custom-built validator service with the FHIR® Validator Wrapper. This is being done as part of our effort to simplify Inferno by aligning its internal architecture with broadly used, community-developed components whenever possible.

The updated validator service will be incorporated into the next release of the ONC Certification (g)(10) Standardized API Test Kit, scheduled for release on April 10. We expect that the impact from this change will be minimal, as both the legacy and new validation services use the FHIR Validator to perform validation. However, it is possible that subtle changes to validation may occur due to differences in how Implementation Guide conformance data is loaded for validation.
