hello, I'm looking into this community as a noob to the EMR, EHR, MD PnP, Payer, Provider etc. There is a lot to wrap my head around.

My questions are more related to how you are interfacing with EMRs, and what format you're pushing that data? From a more technical perspective, are you exposing the data through an API? Or are you publishing that data directly to a system? Would love to get a quick overview, from a quasi-technical perspective.

Thanks.

Hi JD,

Thanks for your question! The short answer is that EMR communication/integration is done through HL7 (http://www.hl7.org/). Our preferred HL7 version is the development version of HL7 FHIR (http://hl7-fhir.github.io/). If you're interested in using HL7 FHIR and java (what OpenICE uses), a fantastic learning resource is the HAPI FHIR project (http://jamesagnew.github.io/hapi-fhir/).

We have only begun to experiment with EMR integrations, but our current state is best illustrated by the OpenICE Supervisor app 'HL7 Exporter'. You can use the app by installing OpenICE: http://mdpnp.sourceforge.net/. And you can check out the code here: https://sourceforge.net/p/mdpnp/code/ci/master/tree/interop-lab/demo-apps/src/main/java/org/mdpnp/apps/testapp/hl7/. The app will take data from the active patient and export it via HL7 at a user defined time interval.

Our HIMSS15 demo app illustrated some mock "auto-validation" of medical device data that was then exported using the HL7 export app to a fake EMR. That system is representative of some of our future development ideas that will be on our roadmap eventually. For now, there is still a lot of work to do in this area...

Feel free to continue the conversation. Thanks,
Jeff

Hey ALL


Can anyone got bench marking information for HAPPI FHIR SERVER. Following are below points.
1. Whats DB configuration required ( shared memory / data space/ DB execution )
2. Leucine search index need to keep in disk or any NAS
3. Whats memory requirement / Machine configuration requirement.( FOR DB/ HAPPI FHIR SERVER INSTALLATION)
4. For Tomcat deployment can we remove DBCP and use Tomcat connection pool.
5. Any other performance configuration like thread pool required , as we could find 10 concurrent thread are processing insert statement.
