Topic: Transforming from a proprietary data model to a FHIR model
Anthony Rocco (Nov 18 2021 at 14:25):
Hi - relatively new to FHIR. The challenge I'm faced with is consuming data from a certain EHR vendor's proprietary API and transforming the consumed data to FHIR resources. One thing I'm come across is the FHIR mapping language (http://hl7.org/fhir/r4/mapping-language.html). Is the mapping language spec only intended to transform data from one version of FHIR to another, or does my use-case also fit the intended use-case of the mapping language spec? Have others' implemented this spec in a production system? I see there is a mapping engine available in Java. Thanks.

The mapping language can convert any data that can be expressed in a hierarchical data model. I can't speak to its use in production - you might ask on #mapping-framework
