Need to do a slow roll here. What is being talked about here should really not be about trying to engineer OpenEMR to small screen devices but developing clients that do these task. This is where FHIR is the best fit and the general purpose of FHIR.
I know of and have tested with a couple groups that are using our FHIR/Standard Rest API for phone apps. Granted our API is still evolving but, the good news is that the engineering has been worked out with another one of our excellent engineers coming on board to help see this through.
We also are close to having a major sponsor that we hope to have with us in the next few weeks where our planned milestones point to having completed 14 to 16 weeks after starting.
The project has two major goals:
- Complete clinical resource API meeting ONC clinical dataset.
- Embedded Provider Client in OpenEMR that allows interfacing with external FHIR repositories to search, import and export patient data. The plan is to be able to search all available repositories and interface with a default repository for the installed enterprise. Could be public or private.
I know we have been talking about the API for awhile now and it has been slow coming but, this is going to happen one way or another as it is a mission for me. If anyone cares to help sponsor or contribute to this end, please PM me or Brady.
Thanks for your attention and regularly scheduled thread activity may now resume.
