Topic: EHR with NodeJS and FHIR

Hello,
sp (Oct 06 2016 at 19:17):
I am new here. I was wondering if EHR implemented with NodeJS and FHIR has been done before on open stack?

An EHR tends to have a minimum of 30 modules/applets, and averages over a hundred applets. So any Node based EHR is going to require an entire tech stack and SDK. We've been working on such a stack over in the Meteor community, and have a custom distro called 'Clinical Meteor'.

There's been about 40 module prototypes completed so far; the demo app catalog has a dozen reference apps to work from, and we currently have about 30/100 FHIR resources implemented. There are businesses within the Meteor ecosystem running practice management, laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, and intensive care units using components from Clinical Meteor; but those apps haven't made their way back into the open stack. However, we're getting close to having a Health Information Exchange (HIE) in the open stack (the Meteor on FHIR app); which we use as a boilerplate and fork from when starting new apps.
