HL7 Fast Healthcare Information Resources (FHIR) is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for the exchange of clinical and healthcare related information. Major EHR vendors and healthcare providers are actively developing transformations between existing EHR databases and their corresponding FHIR representation. Many of these organizations are concurrently creating a second set of transformations from the same sources into integrated data repositories (IDRs). Considerable cost savings could be realized and overall quality could be improved were it possible to transformation primary FHIR EHR data directly into an IDR. We developed a FHIR to i2b2 transformation toolkit and evaluated the viability of such an approach.
HL7快速医疗保健信息资源(FHIR)正迅速成为临床和医疗保健相关信息交换的事实上的标准。主要的电子健康记录(EHR)供应商和医疗保健提供者正在积极开发现有EHR数据库与其相应的FHIR表示形式之间的转换。这些组织中的许多正在同时创建从相同来源到集成数据存储库(IDR)的第二组转换。如果能够将主要的FHIR EHR数据直接转换为IDR,就可以实现可观的成本节约并提高整体质量。我们开发了一个从FHIR到i2b2的转换工具包,并评估了这种方法的可行性。
