I've been building some relatively significant FHIR-based technologies over the past four years. Fortunately, with a huge patient population and data set, I've been able to develop some novel algorithms for the efficient management and use of such data. However, due to the confidential nature of competitive product development, I haven't been able to share any of my learnings or findings.
That was then. This is now.
I'm a big fan of designing health informatics systems around the concept of a native FHIR respository. A native FHIR repository leverages the existing, powerful FHIR data model, which is an extensible graph model that does a good job at capturing the health care domain. The native repository also provides the FHIR interoperability specification implementation, supporting the notion of cloud native architectures.
My FHIR native repository of choice is HAPI FHIR and much of the work and learning I'll share is based on it.
I hope to be able to help someone out there as well as receive feedback and good questions to help strengthen the work we're all trying to deliver. The FHIR specification is the most promising evolution in connected health since automation was introduced into the care environment and I'd like to advance its use in the healthcare informatics market space.
