FHIR @Where to start

1

Hi All,

Im new to FHIR, however familiar with v2 version for EHR implementation. I’m looking to start implementing FHIR services by consuming epic’s restful fhir api’s, however, I don’t know where to start? which resources to select (probably start with the patient resource), which server amongst (DSTU2/STU3) to choose from? and implementation guidance. Any helpful links/leads will be really helpful.

DSTU2 is most widely available in production. STU3 is just starting to role out. What resources you need depends very much on your objectives. You can look at the Argonaut profiles (http://www.fhir.org/guides/argonaut/r2) to see what resources are most likely to be available. Select the subset of those that satisfies your use cases.
