#FHIR Connectathon 7, Chicago Sept 13-14

Jul 19, 2014

We will be holding the next FHIR connectathon in Chicago on Sept 13/14 associated with the HL7 Plenary Meeting. Once again, anyone interested in implementing FHIR is welcome to attend. This connectathon, we have 4 tracks (we’re expanding!):

  1. Our standard introductory Patient Track. This is generally the one that’s appropriate for first time attendees
  2. A new track focusing on the conformance resources (Profile andValueSet), testing interoperability between the various tools and users that are starting to see these used in anger now
  3. Our standard experimental track, focusing on the cutting edge. This time, we’re doing something quite different: we’re going to be testing a basic SMART on FHIR EHR/plug-in scenario
  4. A joint track with DICOM exploring interoperability between the DICOM RESTful services and the FHIR API

What’s really exciting about these is that we’re starting to move into real world interoperability contexts now, focusing more on how FHIR is used in practice than exploring areas of the standard.

There’s full details about the connectathon on the HL7 wiki, with registration details.

I’ll look forward to seeing you there!
