Topic: Publishing FHIR end points
Michele Mottini (Apr 01 2019 at 15:11):
We are publishing all the FHIR end points that we know of at https://fhirendpoints.github.io
-
it is a simple HTML file + a JSON file in the same format used by Epic (with some extension - see below)
-
at the moment being this is mostly the list of Epic published end point + a handful of provider that use our software
-
the Epic end points are enriched with some details: states, ZIP codes, keywords (that we added manually)
-
as we add more end points in our apps we will publish them (next up is adding the Cerner end points - at least some of them)
-
if anyone has corrections or would like to add stuff let me know and we'll do our best to update the list
-
the hosting is free on GitHub, we created a separate repository and account - linked to a brand new email address, so the whole lot can be transferred down the line to some other entity that becomes the official maintainer

can you make PRs against this?
Michele Mottini (Apr 01 2019 at 21:16):
Not really: we re-generate the whole content from the database we maintain internally for our apps
Michele Mottini (Apr 01 2019 at 21:17):
and the HTML and JSON file are both generated in parallel - so in a PR you would have to modify both
Michele Mottini (Apr 01 2019 at 21:17):
so at the moment being changes have to go through us
Michele Mottini (Apr 01 2019 at 21:18):
but if there start to be a lot of changes coming we might invert the system and use the public list as the master (and generate the HTML from the JSON)
Grahame Grieve (Apr 02 2019 at 11:09):
well, it's kind of up to you - there's plenty of interest in having this list curated. Do you want to do that, or do you want it somewhere else? I'd say: either you set it up to PR, or the list will go somewhere else (probably....)
Grahame Grieve (Apr 02 2019 at 11:10):
but it really is a nice list... I'll be adding support for it to my client framework
Michele Mottini (Apr 02 2019 at 12:13):
Let's see how it goes for now - eventually I'd like some other entity to be in charge of it - that's why I set it up completely separate from our own infrastructure
Brian Postlethwaite (Apr 03 2019 at 11:48):
nice data! wondering if you have what type of data use is at those locations, wondering if that would be appropriate to setup as FHIR endpoint resources somewhere in a healthcare services directory.
Michele Mottini (Apr 03 2019 at 12:27):
Sorry, don't understand what you mean by 'type of data use ' ?
Michele Mottini (Apr 03 2019 at 13:20):
@Jeff Danford : any chance of getting the list of Allscripts end points?
Jeffrey Danford (Apr 15 2019 at 20:31):
@Michele Mottini - I forwarded this to the group that controls publishing our endpoints and suggested they add ours. Now we wait.
Michele Mottini (Apr 15 2019 at 20:47):
You do not want to be the Daniel Ellsberg of Allscripts?
Jeffrey Danford (Apr 15 2019 at 21:29):
No thanks. I'm still enjoying my job here. I leave the publishing decisions to others.
Michele Mottini (Apr 15 2019 at 21:30):
I had to try...
Michele Mottini (Apr 15 2019 at 21:31):
(and thanks for asking by the way!)
Grahame Grieve (Apr 15 2019 at 22:00):
I reckon that if you were going to be the Daniel Ellsberg of anything, it would be an excellent way to go about to discuss it on a public forum :thinking:
