Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced "fire") is a draft standard describing data formats and elements (known as "resources") and an application programming interface (API) for exchanging electronic health records
As you may know, the next release FHIR R5 is currently published in "beta". Right now, it is undergoing a quality review. And we'd like to invite YOU to participate in this process!
Your task, if you wish to accept it 😉, is to check text descriptions, copy editing, and grammar. To facilitate this quality review, ClinFHIR is being used, which is a web tool used for developer education on FHIR and to help developers to visualize FHIR data and to plan out the building of FHIR applications. For instructions on how to do the quality review of FHIR R5 read this short document. The application you will use to do the quality review is here.
This is how ClinFHIR looks in action for this FHIR R5 Quality Review:
Watch this video to learn about InterSystems FHIR Server, the turnkey FHIR data solution that empowers FHIR application developers to focus on building life-changing healthcare applications:
We are going to have basic patient demographic data coming in to Cache via a webservice. I thought that I should define the input as XML something like the FHIR format (with UK extensions).
In the past we've input XML streams and used the %XML.Reader to convert them to matching classes successfully, so I thought it would be easy. However, I've found that the FHIR format stores everything in attributes like:
Hi, what is the easiest way to clear all the tables which store FHIR data? The most straitforward approach is to get a list of tables using the information_schema.tables view, then execute dynamic SQL with the "delete from" clause, but perhaps some helper class has already been written for this purpose?
Examining FHIR profile validation with InterSystems FHIR server. FHIR profiles is a very useful feature of FHIR standard that helps an organization or solution to establish constraints to a very disperse FHIR standards that are relevant to a particular business solution. Learn more on FHIR profiles.
I created a very simple FHIR profile with the following JSON:
Hi All! Wanted to share this new video we've published, which might be of interest to people in the healthcare space. Achieving True Interoperability in Healthcare Systems is all about going beyond the typical "syntactic" interoperability and understanding what's needed to bring that interoperability to the next level in healthcare.
The idea is that you can post a bundle to a FHIR server with a set of resources. And you can send it as a transaction, so only all the resources will be published or neither.
E.g. I send a bundle of two resources: patient and its observation.
The observation resource should reference an existing patient. But it probably doesn't exist yet on the server and goes within the same bundle.
For this purpose there is a way to have a temporary id in the bundle, to let resources reference ids.
