Discussions at FHIR DevDays raised this question of a basic way to leverage FHIR API capability to enable the Patient beyond the limited Apps their provider has approved. If a healthcare provider offers a FHIR API (e.g. argonaut) -- meeting the Meaningful Use "API" requirement. Would it be reasonable to expect that the Meaningful Use "Download" (from View/Download/Transfer) capability would be offered in FHIR format? Proposed quick-and-dirty solution? This could be something like a zipped Bundle containing the results of $everything for that Patient, given that patient as the user.  The zipping would help with the potential huge size. The amount of data would be limited to that which is available on the FHIR API offered, which is often not all possible data. Concern would come up when this export of $everything includes other data such as documents and images. The theory is that they are all necessary to export, but the problem is the overwhelming size that might re...

I am getting excited to give two IHE on FHIR tutorials at FHIR DevDays in Boston . The FHIR DevDays event is focused on educating IT professionals in the newest standard in healthcare, FHIR – Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. The FHIR specification may be the newest standard in healthcare, but it is backed by all those that have developed the previous standards (e.g. HL7, CDA, IHE, XDS,  DICOM), taking the best from experience and using the latest in RESTful API technology. For more on FHIR Dev Days  https://www.fhirdevdays.com/   IHE on FHIR Both tutorials will focus on IHE use of FHIR. The  first tutorial  will focus on a high-level view of how IHE and FHIR interact, and a broad view of the current 22 IHE Profiles that leverage FHIR. This tutorial will be most interesting to a general audience interested in Standards organizations and evolution of IHE Profiles. This tutorial is a shortened version of the IHE-on-FHIR tutorial I gave at the HL7...
