HL7 FHIR Data Modeling Training Course
Dive deep into the world of FHIR profiling and learn all about designing and creating FHIR data modeling projects.
What is it about?
The FHIR data modeling training course provides an in-depth discussion of the conformance mechanism offered by FHIR, including:
- How to design and create FHIR Profiles
- How FHIR Profiles serve a similar purpose to implementation guides, templates, archetypes, and detailed clinical models associated with other interoperability standards,
- How to document the adaptation of the generic FHIR model to a particular context of use
- A series of hands-on exercises allowing the attendee to get an in-depth understanding of the material
The exercises in this course will be done with the Forge R4 tool. You can request a custom course when you need to work with a different version (STU3 or the R5 preview), or when you want to use FHIR Shorthand (FSH) instead of Forge.
What skills will I gain?
Upon completion of this training course, attendees will be able to:
- Explain what the FHIR conformance layer is and how it is used to profile FHIR for a specific context or use case.
- Understand how domain information requirements translate to conformance resources.
- Create a FHIR profile to cover a specific context or use case.
- Register, search and validate conformance resources using tools.
- Be aware of governance issues around the creation and publication of conformance resources.
Do I have sufficient knowledge?
When you can answer roughly 80% of these questions with ‘yes’, you have sufficient knowledge for the Data Modeling course. Otherwise, we advise to participate in the FHIR Overview course first.
- Are you familiar with the FHIR resource types and datatypes?
- Are you able to locate the documentation of the core FHIR models?
- Do you have any experience creating/filling in a FHIR resource instance according to its definition?
- Do you know how FHIR resources are linked together?
- Are you familiar with the RESTful API in FHIR?
- Do you know the search capabilities of the FHIR RESTful API?
- Do you know how to communicate multiple resources with FHIR?
- Do you know why FHIR allows extensions?
- Do you know which resource types and datatypes are involved in using terminologies in FHIR?
