clinFHIR Updated: Enhancing FHIR Resource Visualization and Workflow Design
Updates to clinFHIR - Hay on FHIR
Summary
A developer has re-packaged and updated 'clinFHIR,' a suite of tools focused on clinical use cases. This new version enhances data visualization and workflow design support using FHIR, adding modules like Questionnaire Viewer and improving resource graph selection.
Details
The tool suite 'clinFHIR,' which focuses on clinical utilization, has been significantly updated. This update is not merely a patch but a major overhaul involving re-packaging the underlying codebase into Docker containers and rationalizing server infrastructure. Key improvements include enhanced visualization of use cases in the 'Patient Viewer' through improved sample graph selection options. The 'Bundle Viewer' remains useful for technical users to validate FHIR bundle contents in various formats. Furthermore, the 'GraphBuilder,' an authoring tool, serves both as an educational resource and a design aid for constructing resource relationships (graph references). Significantly, Questionnaire-related modules have been added. The 'Questionnaire Viewer' supports SDC Questionnaires by providing hierarchical display capabilities and enabling real-time validation of form completion and data extraction (QuestionnaireResponse) using the SMART web messaging standard. This supports the entire lifecycle from questionnaire design to execution within a clinical workflow. These features primarily support FHIR R4/R4B versions, with ongoing efforts toward supporting newer standards.
