Publicly Available FHIR Servers for testing

Back to FHIR home page

Introduction

This page lists FHIR servers that are publically available for testing. In order to avoid spam etc, the servers are generally password protected. A contact is provided to get a password.

List

Note that these servers are testing servers. They may be sporadically unavailable, and as the FHIR specification is a moving target, they may not always implement the latest version, or do so correctly.

• http://wildfhir.aegis.net/fhir2 - AEGIS WildFHIR - DSTU2 (2015May)
  • Recently updated to support the DSTU-2 (2015May) current ballot version of FHIR
    • NOTE: Update to DSTU-2 (2015May) required a reset/removal of all existing resource data
  • Supports all resource types and operations (except transaction); better support for search; support for conditional read, create/update return preference
  • Based on the FHIR DSTU-2 (2015May) Java reference implementation; hosted on RedHat WildFly 8.1.0
  • Test client interface: http://wildfhir.aegis.net/fhir2gui

• http://wildfhir.aegis.net/fhir - AEGIS WildFHIR - DSTU1
  • Supports all resource types and operations (except transaction); limited support for search
  • Based on FHIR DSTU1 Java reference implementation; hosted on RedHat WildFly 8.1.0
  • Test client interface: http://wildfhir.aegis.net/fhirgui

• http://sqlonfhir.azurewebsites.net/api - HealthConnex - DSTU2 (2015May)
  • DSTU-2 (2015May) current ballot version of FHIR
  • Supports all resource types, but not all operations
  • .NET (C#) implementation on SQL Server Azure
  • No support for Tags/search chaining or profiles at present

• http://health.gnusolidario.org:5000 GNU Health FHIR server
  • Supports read, validate and search for Patient, DiagnosticReport, Practitioner, Procedure, Observation, Condition, FamilyHistory
  • DSTU1
  • A Flask app. It's connected to the GNU Health community server database. Consequently, it's possible to create and update patients, doctors, etc. through the GNU Health frontend and the changes should be reflected on the FHIR server (indirect write support, I suppose).
  • I think our goal is to use the FHIR server as an adapter for non-GNU Health EHRs and users, since we already have synchronization between instances. But, there are other interesting possibilites, too.
  • I'm updating the code frequently and it's still in the dev stages (e.g., adding new resources frequently).
