Topic: FHIR endpoint registry
Michele Mottini (Jun 21 2017 at 21:10):
I heard that HL7 is working on (or considering) a public registry of available FHIR end points. Does anyone here have any more info about that?
Grahame Grieve (Jun 21 2017 at 21:12):
it is expected to be found at registry.fhir.org. It is hoped to be available in the near future. We previously issued an RFP for an implementation partner, and Furore responded. We are working with Furore now to finalise our agreement about what the service will provide exactly
Michele Mottini (Jun 21 2017 at 21:14):
Cool, thanks. Happy to help if there is something we can do
Michele Mottini (Jun 21 2017 at 21:24):
Epic publishes all their FHIR end points at https://open.epic.com/MyApps/Endpoints - also as a JSON file at https://open.epic.com/MyApps/EndpointsJson

@Grahame Grieve will this effort align with FHIR Provider Directory effort? Or, are we talking about different Register efforts?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 22 2017 at 18:54):
I think they're separate. My understanding is that FHIR Provider Directory is about creating a spec, not a registry instance. @Brian Postlethwaite (new) can you confirm?
Mario Hyland (Jun 22 2017 at 19:09):
Thanks @Lloyd McKenzie - i will wait on @Brian Postlethwaite (new) , but my point is if Furore is to "build" a FHIR Registry that includes "End-point" management services; would they (furore) implement a solution which meets with the PD publsihed IG?

@ravi.kuchi Ravi, please follow this development.
Grahame Grieve (Jun 22 2017 at 20:29):
no I think this is a very different thing. And perhaps I was premature in answering in the affirmative here. We expect the registry to host end point resources, but we don't anticipate it being a production list of operational end-points.
Mario Hyland (Jun 22 2017 at 21:31):
Thanks @Grahame Grieve appreciate the comments, but forgive me : what is the difference in your definition between "registry to host end point resources" but not "a list of operational production end-points."? Could you give examples of each.
Grahame Grieve (Jun 22 2017 at 21:55):
same structure - it's an endpoint. The purpose of use is different. I'm thinking that the public FHIR registry would primarily contain a list of public test servers, where the provider registries will have the governance, management and trust arrangements around them to provide the assurance for production usage
Brian Postlethwaite (Jul 04 2017 at 05:22):
The HL7 registry is about storing and sharing FHIR profiles, the Provider Directory Registry is about practitioners, orgs etc. Quite different things.
And the US ONC project is covering an implementation guide for potentially building a federal resource that could satisfy this need. (not a structure definition registry)
