FHIR++ Resource Catalog

FHIR++

Introduction

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced "Fire") defines a set of "Resources" that represent granular clinical concepts. The resources can be managed in isolation, or aggregated into complex documents. FHIR is designed for the web - the resources are based on simple XML or JSON structures, with an http-based RESTful protocol where each resource has a predictable URL. Where possible, open internet standards are used for data representation. xcaliber Patient360 provides read, write, and eventing APIs to a variety of data sources used to access patient-centric data. The API is not just FHIR-conformant, but goes beyond with FHIR++ extensions for minimizing data loss from sources that have additional data.

FHIR++ Capabilities

FHIR++ provides a set of common capabilities that can be applied to any FHIR resource or bundle of resources:

Create: Create and persist new FHIR resources by sending POST requests.
Read: Retrieve existing resources by ID or search parameters using GET requests.
Update: Update existing resources by sending PUT requests with modified data.
Delete: Delete resources by sending DELETE requests by ID.
Search/Filter: Find resources based on search criteria using query parameters. Filter results.
Eventing: Subscribe to real-time events when resources are created, updated, or deleted.

These core CRUDSE (Create, Read, Update, Search/Filter, Eventing) capabilities are available for all resources like Patient, Observation, Encounter and more.

For example, you can:

Create a new Patient
Read a Patient by ID
Update the Patient's demographics
Search for Patients by name
Get notified if the Patient is deleted

FHIR++ Compatibility

FHIR++ is designed to be compatible with and build upon mainstream FHIR standards. This ensures integration with other systems and leverage of FHIR tooling.

Specifically, FHIR++ supports the following FHIR versions:

FHIR Release 4 (R4) - FHIR++ is fully compliant with FHIR R4 and passes official FHIR R4 validation testing. All FHIR++ resources can be used as standard FHIR R4 resources.
