FHIR Implementation Guides (IGs) provide a standard way of documenting FHIR services. The OpenMRS Community has an active “FHIR Squad” working on a variety of OpenMRS HL7 FHIR Solutions, including the OpenMRS FHIR2 module.

Our community approaches each project with sustainability in mind. We achieve this by integrating opportunities for professional development into each project. This project provides the technical writer with an opportunity to advance and apply their FHIR knowledge and/or share that knowledge with others in the community.

Project Timeline
The project will take approximately six months. The first four months will mainly concentrate on gathering and trialing FHIR IG resources and tools, then applying these resources and tools to create the FHIR2 Module IG. The last two months will focus on gathering feedback from OpenMRS implementers and FHIR gurus, then disseminating the IG to relevant digital health communities (including OpenMRS) and implementations.

In collaboration with technical writers through Google Season of Docs 2019, 2020, and 2021, OpenMRS has made several improvements to documentation available on our Wiki (https://wikiopenmrs.openmrsatlassian.org/net).
OpenMRS has participated in Google Season of Docs since its inception. In 2019, we were one of the few organizations to successfully work with three technical writers on two key projects: Developing OpenMRS REST API Documentation (two technical writers) and Updating the OpenMRS Wiki Information Architecture (one technical writer).Through Google Season of Docs in 2020, OpenMRS worked with one technical writer on a project designed to improve our OpenMRS Getting Started Guide for New Developers, which serves as inspiration for this project. Although not selected for Google Season of Docs 2020, another aspiring Season of Docs technical writer joined our Documentation Team and moved ahead with her proposed GSOD project, Developing a Suite of Volunteer Guides. All technical writers became members of our Documentation Team and had ongoing support from experienced community members, our Community Director, and Product Director.
