C# convert HL7 to FHIR

Question

Currently not all EMR/EHR systems are migrated to provide health/medical information in FHIR format hence the solution that I am looking for is to convert HL7 fields to FHIR fields.

This has to be user defined for eg

Hl7 field | FHIR field

PID-3 | ResourceMRN

PID-5 | ResourcePatientFirstName

PID-5-1 | ResourcePatientLastName

and so on...

So, as on date what I have found from my search is firely library @ https://github.com/FirelyTeam/fhir-net-api but they only have support to build C# solution for client/server. There is no mechanism that firely team have provided on mapping and converting HL7 to FHIR.

Any suggestion on plug/play tools or custom coding is welcome.

Answer 1

Have you looked at the v2 to FHIR stream on chat.fhir.org? There's work underway at defining a 'standard' set of mappings - though they'll need to be adapted for every v2 server because every v2 server does things a slightly different way.
