Projects in clinFHIR

One of the things that the Resource Builder in clinFHIR does is to allow you to use different servers for the various ‘roles‘ that are needed. These include:

• The Conformance server – holds resources like StructureDefinition and NamingSystem
• The Terminology server – ValueSets and the Terminology operations required by the different applications within clinFHIR
• The Data server – where patient (and other) data is kept.

This isn’t an official part of the spec, but is a useful way to think about the main ‘components’ of a FHIR solution.

While flexible, this can make it somewhat more complicated to use, as you need to select the right combination of servers to suit a particular need.
