Topic: First live FHIR?

For historic interest, does anyone know of a FHIR implementation, live data and real users, before October 2014? http://www.kingshealthpartners.org/resources/case-studies/133-khp-online

@Brett Esler did you have something working then?

First product sale was Feb 2014 - but that was far from production use... trialing was mid 2014 - not around any more

I thought of Brett and CommonWell (@Peter Bernhardt )

Wouldn't be unreasonable to think that the Kings Health one was a first then, until we hear otherwise. I'll get the "blue plaque" ordered :-)

It allows general practitioners to book appointments with other local providers so that patients can get care at a more convenient time (e.g. evening & weekend consultations) or location (e.g. near to place of work). As part of this it pushes a summary clinical record and can check when the consultation is complete, including pulling a summary of the encounter. There were three different clinical systems in use in the area so we wanted a common data model; our preferred architecture was web app+REST API. Our choices were to define our own model+API or to try FHIR ... we chose the path of least resistance (FHIR) and haven't looked back since ;)

we'd be very happy if you wrote a 2-3 page whitepaper about this so we could post it on fhir.org
