FHIR® meetup: FHIR profiling


Details
FHIR is a mature standard, though it is also generic and flexible. Many companies, organizations, and even countries are busy adopting FHIR to their specific domain requirements, national regulations, and other needs.
Typically this adaptation includes the following:
• The content models of the resources
• Chosen terminologies and value sets
• List of API features that should be supported and more
FHIR profiling covers all these needs.
What challenges should you resolve when authoring and implementing FHIR profiles for your solution? What are the best practices and what tooling is available for healthcare engineers and analysts? Is it worth the time of a small healthcare startup, and does it meet the needs of a large healthcare enterprise?
Let’s discuss all these topics and more with our guests!

Mark Kramer, MITRE’s Health Innovation Center
Topic: Creating an Implementation Guide with FHIR Shorthand
FHIR Shorthand (“FSH”) is a friendly language for defining the content of IGs, and more recently, logical models and FHIR resources. Making simple declarative statements, you can define a wide variety of FHIR artifacts such as profiles, extensions, and value sets. FSH language itself is an HL7 standard (STU) and is currently used in over 100 IG projects worldwide. We will demonstrate FSH Online, where you can interactively go back and forth between FSH and JSON, and share your FSH examples with other users. Lastly, if you have an existing IG and you are not yet using FSH, you can convert your IG into a FSH project using GoFSH, to make it easier to manage, extend, and maintain.
Roundtable discussion about problems and solutions (30 mins).
