Gain a deeper understanding of HL7 FHIR

After this training course, you will be able to:

  • Identify architectural considerations that apply to FHIR and determine how to best address those in your own FHIR solutions
  • Understand the trickier and more advanced parts of FHIR
  • Get hands-on experience on various aspects of FHIR
  • Advance your own project by having a deeper understanding of your own implementation issues
  • Apply best practices in the field

The hands-on nature allows the attendees to get an in-depth understanding of the material covered.

What the course is about

The course covers all sorts of implementation aspects that are not covered by the standard itself, as well as the trickier parts of FHIR. The agenda of this custom course is determined by its attendees:

  • Implementation issues encountered by the attendees.
  • Materials and hands-on exercises about implementation aspects, prepared by experienced FHIR implementers.
  • How to manage different types of issues and best practices to deal with these implementation challenges.

Before the workshop we will host a conference call to identify your issues. For examples, see the learning modules below.
