Topic: FHIR and BigQuery

I noticed some chatter about FHIR big data, ODATA, FHIR object on GoogleCloud (BigQuery). Can someone put out a quick summary of the use case.
Thank you in advance. Radu.

Hey @Radu Craioveanu! The basic use case is: how can we enable ad-hoc analytics on top of large sets of FHIR data? For example, this could be to figure out which patients are good candidates for some disease management program or clinical trial, or to identify data quality gaps, or clinical quality opportunities -- it's a very broad space.

Hi @Josh Mandel . How do you you load the FHIR data in big query? Is there a generic approach to synchronize a FHIR stack (like James' HAPI FHIR JPA' to the cloud? Thank you.
Josh Mandel (Nov 20 2017 at 18:00):
No generic approach today, but one area we're working on is a very clean story from FHIR's (nascent) "bulk data export" API --> ndjson --> analytic environments (including BQ)

transaction log could be such generic approach
