Project to increase consistency & quality of FHIR-authored implementation guides

This project will coordinate the solicitation, review and endorsement of implementation guide authoring guidelines for implementation guides constructed using FHIR publication machinery - whether produce by HL7 or 'external' stakeholders. It will also make recommendations to the product family management groups and TSC about guidelines to be enforced as part of balloting and publication processes. Finally it will vet and, as necessary, solicit community feedback on proposed changes to either the base template, HL7 template, product family templates and IG Publisher that affect the IG authoring process and/or the IG reading and consumption process. This covers all product families using the FHIR IG publication machinery (i.e. FHIR, CDA, v2 and possibly others).

This project will not cover product family methodologies, but may provide feedback to and/or seek guidance from MnM/CDA/InM around methodology choices. It will also liaise with FHIR-I around the structure and function of the resources used to define implementation guides. Management groups (and the TSC) will be the final arbiters of what requirements will be mandated for HL7 publications of different types.
