Hi Alan,

This is definitely something we need to manage. The public server implements the entire specification, where our private server only implements a small subset of it. This means that anyone who tests against the public server can be sure that they are "FHIR compliant" but may not be using features that would work in our production environment.

At this point we are addressing this through project specific documentation- i.e. as we start a project we identify which resource types, operations (read, search, create, etc.), and search parameter combinations they intend to use and we make sure that we also support them in our internal environment.

A long term hope is that we would publish a UHN Conformance Statement (which is a FHIR resource that can be used to convey all of this information electronically) but we haven't really explored that yet.

Cheers,
James

Hi James, is there any concern between a mismatch of functionality between the public FHIR servers and the FHIR server implemented at UHN when external teams are initially testing against the public FHIR servers?

Thank you James for providing a great presentation on UHN's implemenation using HL7® FHIR® as well as the large attendance to the webinar. The presentation is now available for download here: https://ic.infoway-inforoute.ca/resources/docs/hl7/222-uhn-fhir-implementation-webinar-20150512.

Stay tuned for the next HL7 Community webinar!

Best regards,
Wendy

Following the HL7® FHIR® Overview provided earlier this month, we are pleased offer a HL7® FHIR® implementation webinar!

Synopsis: University Health Network (UHN) has spent the last year working to adopt FHIR as a way of exposing internal clinical data to
development teams and vendors as a way of simplifying our integration architecture and decreasing time-to-market for new applications. This webinar will explore some of the early successes we have seen, the challenges we have faced along the way, as well as our vision of how FHIR will continue to evolve at UHN.
