A very helpful repository to generate synthetic FHIR compatible data shared by @Phillip Booth 
 

E.g. to generate data for 5 patients in an /output subfolder of a current folder call:

docker run --rm -v $PWD/output:/output --name synthea-docker intersystemsdc/irisdemo-base-synthea:version-1.3.4 -p 5

Which you can load then into IRIS for Health with:

zw ##class(HS.FHIRServer.Tools.DataLoader).SubmitResourceFiles("path/output", "FHIRNamespace", "/restapi/endpoint/fhir/r4")

Hi all! 

Here're some interesting task ideas for the FHIR contest from our GM Advocates:

@Yuri Marx
App to maintain electronic immunization history using FHIR to get and persist data.

@Rasha Sadiq
Creating a Test to dynamically identify the severity of an episode by taking the diagnosis and age into consideration.

@Udo Leimberger
HL7 v2, HL7v3 Gateway with analyse options (I am thinking about a QueueManagement like RabbitMQ but for the H7 protocol -- Module for ManagementPortal - resend Messages / Cancel Messages ... and ... and .. and.. ).

So!

You can also suggest your own ideas and get up to 5,800 points on Global Masters.

Whose idea will be next? 🔥

Hi guys,

We introduced several topics you may find interesting and use to build FHIR applications with InterSystems IRIS for Health for the FHIR contest. 

Amongst them are:

  • a frontend mobile or web app for FHIR server FHIR REST API or SQL;
  • Backend apps to perform complex queries and maintain rules;
  • work with different HL7 data standards.

More details in this post.

Stay tuned!
