openEHR-to-FHIR

openEHR-to-FHIR converts openEHR Compositions into FHIR profiles to enable standardized exchange of COVID-19 patient data according to the German Corona Consensus Dataset (GECCO).

Key Features:

• Conversion Capability: Converts openEHR Compositions into the FHIR profiles specified by GECCO.
• REST Web Service: Provides a RESTful web service that automates extraction and conversion of openEHR data to FHIR profiles.
• Integration with GECCO Profiles: Produces FHIR output compatible with GECCO profiles for COVID-19 patient data exchange across health information systems, including university health systems in Germany.

Scientific Applications:

• Data Sharing: Enables standardized exchange of COVID-19 patient information between institutions using openEHR and FHIR.
• Clinical Research: Provides GECCO-compliant FHIR datasets for epidemiological studies, clinical trials, and public health surveillance.

Methodology:

Extracts openEHR Compositions from repositories and converts them into GECCO-specified FHIR profiles via an automated REST web service while adhering to GECCO predefined FHIR standards.
