Details

This document serves as a technical guide for importing FHIR data into AWS HealthLake. Users can initiate an import job using the `StartFHIRImportJob` function to ingest input data stored in S3 buckets into a specified HealthLake Data Store. This process requires specifying the input data's S3 URI, output configuration (S3 URI and KMS Key ID), and the ARN of the IAM role for data access. Concrete code examples are provided using both AWS CLI and Python SDK (Boto3), covering the steps necessary for developers to integrate this into live systems. The guide also includes console operation instructions, detailing the entire workflow from data ingestion setup and job execution to error handling (such as validation or throttling errors). The document emphasizes that FHIR R4 specifications are supported for healthcare data exchange. It recommends utilizing AWS HealthLake partners if necessary to convert existing data into the required FHIR R4 format. This information is highly valuable for Japanese healthcare IT engineers interested in building standardized and integrated platforms for large-scale electronic health record or research data within a cloud environment.
