Bridging Legacy Systems and FHIR: Outburn's Bidirectional Data Conversion with FUME
Bidirectional FHIR Conversion - Outburn Outburn Facilitating seamless two-way data
Outburn is facilitating bidirectional data exchange using the FHIR standard to connect legacy healthcare systems with modern standards.
Summary
Outburn has introduced 'FUME,' a proprietary real-time data conversion engine. It enables non-intrusive, bidirectional data exchange between legacy formats like HL7 v2 and the modern FHIR standard.
Key Players
Details
Many healthcare organizations still rely on legacy systems utilizing formats such as HL7 v2 or proprietary structures, making the transition to FHIR challenging due to high costs and risks. Outburn's FUME provides a solution to bridge this gap. This engine is API-driven yet non-intrusive, functioning without requiring changes to existing workflows or systems. Specifically, it enables bidirectional mapping: converting HL7 v2 admission messages into FHIR resources (e.g., Patient, Encounter) in real time, and subsequently translating updates from a modern FHIR application back into the original legacy format. This allows hospitals to safely and gradually introduce FHIR-based applications, such as care coordination apps, while maintaining their older EMR systems. FUME achieves true interoperability, promoting the modernization of healthcare ecosystems while protecting existing investments. The technology supports 'any-to-any' conversion between various legacy data formats (HL7 v2, XML, JSON) and FHIR, contributing to improved healthcare data interoperability with minimal cost and risk.
