Topic: FHIR API with Pharmacy resources
Julius Mark (Aug 04 2020 at 00:21):
I am new to the forum.
I am looking for a FHIR API like HAPI FHIR that has resources for Pharmacy data models.
I mean resources like Pharmacy, Claims, Eligibility, Drug, Member, EOB, and prescriber.
Any help will be appreciated.

I suggest you first look at the link at the bottom of fhir.hl7.org for "public test servers"

Thanks a lot the information.
HAPI FHIR API seems to be the leading FHIR server. But they implemented few resources for Pharmacy data models.

There are no resources named "Pharmacy" or "Drug" or "Member" in FHIR. The only resources that exist (in any reference implementation) are the ones declared in the core specification. "Pharmacy" would be Organization, HealthcareService or Location, depending on what you mean by 'Pharmacy'. Drug is 'Medication'. Member is Patient. Prescriber is Practitioner. The defined FHIR resources should cover all of the concepts found in a pharmacy data model. Start out by looking at the Medication Module listed on the home page. If you run into concepts you can't find, ask here or on #Medication

Thanks a lot for the information.
I think all I need to do is to find the FHIR resource that covers the concepts described in each of my data model.

That sounds like a good first step. Holler if you run into issues.
