Attachments:Connectathon Prep Material

Below you will find a variety of link and material that has been assembled to help provide guidance for developers and architects to get started for FHIR:

FROM HL7 FHIR Wiki: See two links from the HL7 Wiki site, and an excellent YouTube video. The first is a good FHIR 101, the second is beginning FHIR for developers.

   •	See this link for the FHIR 101 overview http://www.hl7.org/fhir/overview.html

   •	See this link for a developers overview http://www.hl7.org/fhir/overview-dev.html

Start at the 4 minute mark, some of the best FHIR detail, in the weeds is at the 24 minute mark.

Advice On Tooling and Developer Preparation for Connectathon:

Since FHIR can be implemented using a number of different technologies, there isn’t a single set of tools that you would need. I would assume that most of the developers would be using a base technology that they are familiar with (e.g. Java, Javascript, Python, etc.), so the tools that they already use should be a good start. I would make sure to have the following as well:

· Something to view HTTP messages (like POSTMAN) · Something to view and edit JSON · Something to view and edit XML · At least one web browser. I would recommend having both Chrome and Firefox, if they are not already installed.

If they are planning to do anything with FHIR Profiles (not a beginner topic) they should look at the FHIR Wiki and see if they want any of the profile editing tools that are available. -- Craig Parker, MD MS Medical Informaticist for Open Services Platform Initiatives • HYPERLINK "mailto:craig.parker@imail.org" HYPERLINK "mailto:craig.parker@imail.org" HYPERLINK "mailto:craig.parker@imail.org" HYPERLINK "mailto:craig.parker@imail.org" craig.parker@imail.org

Hi Lenel,

Having looked through the HL7 documentation and worked with fhir for a couple of months now, I think the best way to learn it is through watching it in action. Since fhir is built on restful web service calls, downloading a restful web service tester such as this app from google would allow a new developer to see what happens when they use fhir. Using the tool, they can plug in a fhir server endpoint and select values for creating (http post), updating (http put) or searching (http get) a resource and then plug in the resource examples (json or xml) from hl7 website.
