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. TO BE ADDED..... One of the key pieces of FHIR-based technology we want to support is the SMART on FHIR App Launch Framework. This is a standard for connecting custom applications to a FHIR server in a secure manner. Essentially, it allows non-OpenMRS applications to talk to OpenMRS in a secure manner using the OAuth2 authentication framework.
OpenMRS has had a history of trying to integrate the SMART on FHIR framework, including past GSoC projects, such as this from 2017 and this project from last year, but so far we haven't quite gotten things production-ready. The goal of this project is to build on the work done in GSoC 2020 to get things into a state where our setup is production-ready. In addition to the value of running SMART-on-FHIR applications, this work will demonstrate how to integrate OpenMRS and Keycloak to provide a (hopefully) seamless user login experience.
