openEHR Web Template to FHIR Questionnaire converter

[jbuch (Jonas Bucher)]

I’m excited to share an open-source tool to convert openEHR Web Templates into FHIR Questionnaires.

The converter can be obtained from CISTEC Github and used via CLI, or directly in the Browser.
On Github you can find additional details, as well as information regarding licensing. Feel free to customize and adapt the script to your needs. Obviously, it would be beneficial if you either contribute through Github issues & pull requests or contact me directly.

Note that this is a very recent project, and I am not too familiar with FHIR. I will be glad for inputs regarding overall functionality, parameters to add, specific mappings, and general feedback.

Cool, thanks for sharing as open source!
Are you familiar with related initiatives:

Online openEHR2FHIR transformer

It has been in closed “beta” for a few months, so I’m finally officially releasing the online front-end for the transformation of openEHR archetypes and templates to several FHIR profiles (Observation, Questionnaire) and artifacts (LogicalModels). This uses the same principles already discussed before. The only main difference is that for logical models you can also input the archetype or template id and it will be automatically retrieved from openEHR CKM Link is http://openehr2fhir.veratech.es…

And FHIR-connect spec (about to be re-released).

And I’m curious where to find your data type mapping. There’s a project in waiting to standardise mappings for those.

Yes, I’m aware of these related initiatives! I feel there’s room for improvement regarding the availability of open-source tools. The work by @SevKohler, @yampeku, and @gandrejc is crucial for efficiently standardizing mappings. I’d be happy to explore ways we can share the workload and connect our efforts to benefit the community.

I just added a Data Type Mapping Table to the README.
