In May 2025, delivered a focused back-end feature in gematik/spec-ISiK-Basismodul that improves document lookup by introducing a mandatory 'identifier' search parameter for DocumentReference in the ISiK FHIR specification. This enables precise retrieval of documents by identifier, supporting faster workflows and regulatory compliance. Release notes updated to reflect the API change, and the change is tracked via a dedicated commit for traceability.

February 2025: Focused on data reliability improvements in gematik/spec-ISiK-Basismodul. Implemented a data consistency fix by removing a duplicate 'PatientinMusterfrau' example from fsh-index.txt and updating referencedExamples.fsh to ensure a single correct instance is present and properly referenced. The change prevents potential data inconsistencies across environments and downstream validation steps. This work strengthens baseline data quality, supports smoother releases, and reduces debugging effort related to example data references. No new features were released this month; the primary value came from stabilizing core data references and improving maintainability.
