How to Sync FHIR Data with BigQuery using Cloud Healthcare API

Details

This tutorial demonstrates how to link FHIR data stored in a repository (store) with a BigQuery dataset for near real-time synchronization. The steps include setting necessary permissions (e.g., granting Cloud Healthcare service agent access), creating the FHIR store, adding sample resources like Patient records, and configuring the streaming mechanism. Technical instructions are provided using REST API calls via `curl` and PowerShell to create the store and insert resources. This process is highly relevant for Japanese healthcare IT, as it outlines a robust method for migrating standardized electronic health record data (FHIR format) into a scalable big data warehouse (BigQuery), enabling advanced analysis and interoperability management.
