Topic: checklist for implementers
René Spronk (Jan 25 2021 at 11:38):
It has been suggested by one of the trainees who attended our FHIR training course, that we publish a 'checklist for implementers'. Not a safety-security checklist, but a "what should I think about when I embark on a FHIR implementation?". It would seem you as a reader are very well positioned to provide guidance to those who've learned the basics of FHIR and are embarking on their very first project.
Feel free to make suggestions (key issues, high level), we'll create a curated list, which will be made available to the community as a whole.

Will a Facade or a native FHIR resource persistence layer be more applicable?
René Spronk (Jan 25 2021 at 11:39):
Are you going to build the Facade/Server yourself or purchase one. Which one?
René Spronk (Jan 25 2021 at 11:39):
Does the FHIR server have a built-in validator ?
René Spronk (Jan 25 2021 at 11:40):
Does the FHIR server use a terminology server ?
René Spronk (Jan 25 2021 at 11:40):
IS RESTful FHIR the ebst option for all uses cases? or are documents ?
René Spronk (Jan 25 2021 at 11:41):
develop some mapping functionality on your own, or purchase some mapping engine ?

Part of it would presumably be to check the implementation approach decision tree. (Currently in HRex but will be moving into R5.) FHIR implementation is a super broad space, so trying to come up with a comprehensive checklist is going to be pretty hard, but a brain dump of things to think about wouldn't be a bad thing to have...

More focused would be easier/better?
Lloyd McKenzie (Jan 26 2021 at 05:02):
"More focused"?
Lin Zhang (Jan 26 2021 at 11:00):
Specific to a use case or a kind of use cases
Lloyd McKenzie (Jan 26 2021 at 14:33):
The point of the decision tree in HRex was to span all possible use-cases. If you've narrowed down to a very specific use-case, then you've probably narrowed down to a very specific implementation decision.

Understood, thanks @Lloyd McKenzie
