Sessions
FHIR Analytics & SQL on FHIR: An Introduction
A high-level introduction to FHIR Analytics and the SQL on FHIR project touching on the motivations, the prior art, SQL on FHIR, use cases, and where we're headed next.
A Technical Tour of the SQL on FHIR Spec
Ryan, a lead author of the SQL on FHIR, will give a deep dive into the technical details of the specification. This will include a close look at the heart of the spec, the ViewDefinition and the decisions made during its design.
Brush
SQL on FHIR in PostgreSQL
Experiences integrating SQL on FHIR into a PostgreSQL-based FHIR server
FlatQuack: FHIR resources to SQL tables with DuckDB
FlatQuack is a new, open source, SQL on FHIR View Definition to SQL compiler that targets DuckDB, a lightweight, high performance database engine. DuckDB can scale from running as a single executable that queries a directory of FHIR resources on a local machine to a distributed platform that queries across billions of resources in the cloud. By compiling to SQL, FlatQuack can be easily integrated into existing data pipelines that use off-the-shelf orchestration tools like DBT and Apache Airflow.
Pathling: SQL on FHIR views for Apache Spark
Pathling leverages Apache Spark to enable scalable, distributed processing of FHIR data and streaming capabilities through multiple language interfaces (e.g. Java, Python, R). This enables interesting architectures for processing FHIR for analytic use cases, and we will cover various ways that this capability can be set up alongside operational systems and integrated with existing analytics and business intelligence tools.
An Open Approach for Translating FHIR to OMOP
Carl will present on overview of the challenges in translating FHIR to OMOP and will discuss various emerging solutions
Safhire: Rust-y Ducklings in a Row
Safhire is an analytics engine based on SQL on FHIR specification written in Rust. Operating in standalone mode Safhire does not require an external RDBMS server. Processed FHIR data is stored in an embedded DuckDB instance and can be queried using REST API. Safhire can also be connected with any BI tool that has ability to talk to a service using REST API.
Transforming FHIR for efficient population queries using Open Health Stack
Bashir will present how Google is using the new SQL on FHIR v2 specification to widen the use-cases and infrastructure choices for deploying the OHS Analytics component. Open Health Stack (OHS) is a set of open-source components built around FHIR and other open standards with the goal of easy deployment to digital healthcare systems in low-resource environments (LRE). The Analytics component of OHS consists of pipelines to continuously monitor data in a FHIR server and transform it to analytics-friendly formats and tools to make it easy and efficient to write and run population level queries.
Using SQL on FHIR in the HL7 FHIR IG Publisher
This presentation will describe how the HL7 FHIR IG publisher uses SQL on FHIR ViewDefinitions to make it easier to include content out of the resources in pages in the implementation guide, and show same examples of the kinds of things that can be done with this technique
