Abstract
FHIR is an emerging standard for healthcare interoperability. OpenMRS has been an early adopter of the FHIR standard, but there is still more we could add to the FHIR module. This project involves creating a simple and effective User Interface (UI) on top of the Microfrontend / SPA framework to make CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations easier for FHIR metadata tables.
In our FHIR module, we have 3 FHIR metadata tables (for now; we could eventually have more like these). These tables are pretty straight-forward mappings between some piece of FHIR-specific data and a piece of OpenMRS data. The three tables are:
fhir_concept_source
: maps between an OpenMRSConceptSource
and the URL for the corresponding FHIRCodeSystem
. This sounds complicated, but it’s really just for mapping things like: LOINC -> http://loinc.org, SNOMED CT -> http://snomed.info/sct. The names come from theConceptSource.name
field.fhir_encounter_class_map
: maps between OpenMRS locations and this FHIR valueset.fhir_observation_category_map
: maps between an OpenMRSConceptClass
and this FHIR valueset.
So the project would involve creating a Microfrontend UI which would use REST to do CRUD operations on the above tables.
