connecting FHIR and openEHR

Implementation Integration
1

I wanted to discuss the relationship between FHIR Mapping Language and FHIR Logical Model export of CKM archetypes and FHIR connect model map.
It feels like these approach could help each other. What are the communities’ thoughts?

It’s very relevant for openEHR in NL. Both for my work at RSO Zuid-Limburg and for Nictiz zib transitie. some detail here: Export FHIR Logical Model to UML zib · Issue #20 · openehr-nl/ZIBs-on-openEHR · GitHub

Another super interesting development in connecting openEHR and FHIR: ‘openFHIR’ by @gandrejc.

It’s really exciting to see the uptake of fhir connect, invented by Better.
The demo page on the website is super useful to make the idea come to life. I really hope this openfhir will be available commercially soon. It’s of big interest to my work at RSO.

I wanted to mention that we also now have support for FHIR Search on openEHR data in HIP CDR. I think this is quite important as the translation from openEHR to FHIR without search only gets you so far. Our implementation is not based on FHIR Connect (yet), as we had some constraints regarding time-to-market and regarding the need to create a standard-agnostic mapping language because mappings between openEHR and HL7 v2 have been a more pressing issue in the German market.

Anyways, great to see many approaches in this direction, this addresses an important topic!
