Im new to fhir framework and it seems so overwhelming for me to understand the whole process in fhir. I have been a developer for almost 10 years and were able to develop a web application from scratch but health care industry is new to me specially this fhir specification. Based on my understanding, fhir is just a tool to follow the standards in EHR (I had read this one - https://www.health-samurai.io/articles/the-fhir-guide-for-ctos-and-technical-leaders). My new project is to develop a system that supports fhir. I've been careful for the steps to do hence I wanted to somehow understand the bigger picture first on how this fhir works or if im going to implement it, at least its following the industry standard.
My first question is what is the database design if you're going to implement CMS web application and you add the fhir database to it. Am I need to create a users table or fhir already have this table?
Also, I really wanted to see what fhir database looks like or an ERD of it, so that I can somehow understand the tables. I hoping for your inputs. Thank you!!!

FHIR's focus is exchanging health data, rather than storing it. A good place to start is http://build.fhir.org/index.html . It links to developer and architect introductions.

you can persist data as resources if you want. But you don't have to. See discussion at hl7.org/fhir/storage.html and http://www.healthintersections.com.au/?p=2776
