FHIR Implementation Guide (IG)
An implementation guide is a published package of profiles, extensions, value sets, examples and narrative that says exactly how FHIR must be used in one context, such as a country or a programme.
US Core, the IPS, the Bulk Data IG and SMART App Launch are all implementation guides; a server declares which ones it conforms to.
