AID 201510 Meeting in Atlanta

This is the agenda of the AID HL7 'user group' for the WGM in Atlanta (October 2015)

Sunday Q3/Q4 (hosting FHIR)

1. Administrative (max 5 minutes)
2. General FHIR Server Design Review (Brian Postlethwaite, Healthconnex, AU)
   • Covers different types and approaches for implementing a FHIR server (Generic FHIR Server, Publish/Sync, Façade, Cache)
   • Aims to raise discussion about these various approaches
3. Simple JSON Parser Mobile App (Jeff Ting, US)
   • I wrote a mobile app for the first time, and one that can parse JSON to any level of depth to reach FHIR elements of interest. I will discuss the parsing design, as well as lessons learned on user interface layouts for mobile.
4. clinFHIR implementation experiences (David Hay, Orion Health, NZ)
   • See http://clinfhir.com/ for the clinFHIR site.
5. Development of "FHIR cell for i2b2" (Kavi Wagholikar MD, MGH, US)
   • This presentation will describe the technical details and learnings in the development of the fhir interface for i2b2.
   • Over 100 institutions in the US have i2b2 installations for identifying research cohorts. The fhir api is aimed at providing a readonly interface to the data hosted in the i2b2 instances, allowing the institutions to run SMART apps over i2b2.
6. Creating the FHIR interface for the NHS FGM Risk Identification System (Richard Kavanagh, HSCIC, England)
   • An overview of the journey of implementing FHIR into the English NHS national architecture (see http://data.developer.nhs.uk/fhir/fgm/ ). The challenges of moving away from HL7v3, dealing with a DSTU standard and the absence of tooling infrastructure. Lessons learned and the roadmap for the future.
7. Other FHIR related talks

Monday Q3

1. Administrative
   • Approval of the minutes of the May WGM in Paris, available at AID 201505 Meeting in Paris
2. Use of a RIM-lite OWL triple store to calculate quality measures (Peter Hendler, KP)
   • Peter has been working with Oxford University UK dept of Computer Science and KP National Quality. They have an OWL ontology based on Entities in Roles Participating in Acts (ERPA; it is not the full RIM by any means, it is their own RIM lite OWL). They have successfully calculated some Diabetes quality measures using OWL, RDF and SNOMED.
   • Peter will discuss some of the core design considerations, as well as other experiences.
   • See http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/isg/tools/RDFox/ for details of RDFox, a highly scalable in-memory RDF triple store.
