CSVonFHIR

Project developed during the #codevscovid19 hackathon in 2020.

Introduction

Goal

The goal of this project is to create a dynamic parser which generates FHIR document based on a CSV input and then populates this FHIR document with the CSV data.

Purpose of this project

FHIR is a standard which describes data formats and resources as well as an API for exchanging electronic health records. Since hospitals and other health care parties use a variety of systems and services it becomes difficult to exchange data in a fast and meaningful way. Furthermore, adopting a new standard is often times coupled with a lot of effort. We try to tackle part of what causes this problem by creating an easy way to convert patient data stored in a CSV format into the FHIR format. This will offer an easy way to make data accessible and sharable between various groups without much effort.
