Hi All. We are starting working on a new EMR software and planning to use ElasticSearch as our primary database. We are planning to keep patients records in FHIR standard using JSON. I would like to know if someone already working on these lines? Any suggestions are also welcome.

Not sure about ElasticSearch, but there is this for Spark: http://engineering.cerner.com/blog/announcing-bunsen-fhir-data-with-apache-spark/

Having some experience with elastic I would say the following: 1. Treat elastic as a volatile index and not as a dB. 2. Have a way to re index the data from conventional sources (mongo, sql etc) handy.
3. Back up back up back up your indexes
