- FHIR related presentations
Architecting a FHIR frontend using a legacy database backend, (Rene Spronk, Ringholm, NL)
- High level introductory discussion of implementation issues
Building FHIR Servers on existing Relational Databases (Robert Worden, , UK)
- To make a FHIR Server from an existing healthcare relational database, you have to develop transforms between FHIR resources and the native database formats - in both directions (for GET and PUT). One way to do this is to use the FHIR Transform Engine. This gives bi-directional transforms from declarative mappings - saving coding effort, and increasing reliability. Transforms integrate with the HAPI server engine. An example implementation is described.
- There is an important side-benefit to this approach. RESTFul FHIR searches are converted to efficient SQL queries, automatically - supporting a wide range of searches without coding.
Building a FHIR frontend using Spark/Vonk (Christiaan Knaap, Furore, NL)
- Vonk is the newly architected Furore FHIR database frontend
Implementing databases for FHIR - 3 years experience report (Niqoula Ruschkov, FHIRBase, RU)
- With the upcoming SQL standard 2017 with JSON - the FHIRBase approach will be suitable for Oracle, MSSQL and other compliant databases.
