The FHIR Experience – An Immersive Hand-On Training Program - September 2018 WGM

This is a two-day, hands-on FHIR training program being offered at the September 2018 WGM on Wednesday October 3rd and Thursday October 4th. It is designed to

empower students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to implement HL7 FHIR applications

prepare for the FHIR Proficiency Certification Exam.

Theoretical material is blended with hands-on activities so that students are able to apply what they learn throughout the two-day experience.

Base standards topics include: FHIR Resources, RESTFUL API , transactions, operations, messages, documents, services, batch, bulk transfer, storage, Conformance and Terminology.

The second day focuses on reviewing and utilizing the FHIR implementation guides. Students will gain insight and hands-on experience with the US Core (Argonaut) and Provider Directory Implementation Guides.

The program culminates with a summative review of the two-day training through interactive preparation for the FHIR Proficiency Exam.
