There’s a new report out that finds lots of security vulnerabilities in FHIR implementations, both client and server. Unforunately, the media write up isn’t entirely accurate: In fact, every tested FHIR app enabled API access to patient health data belonging to other individuals.

In this set of posts we’re going to dig into how FHIR supports the use of forms in collecting information. . Forms are ubiquitous in healthcare (and other domains for that matter) so it makes sense that there is some specific support in FHIR for them. StructureMap is based on the FHIR Mapping language to perform the extraction.

Could be FHIR resources, but more likely a database structure specific to the needs of the lab domain.

The solution is to leverage this existing solution, and just add FHIR. My point in this article is that this does not need to be a restriction on those that do want to move on to FHIR. Just add FHIR FHIR is a content format. Thus for those that want a FHIR content format, the choice would be the IPS rather than the C-CDA.
