More Argonaut stuff

Interesting article on how FHIR and Argonaut continue to gain momentum in the US.
FHIR does seem on track to become the Lingua Franca of healthcare information exchange…
SMART, CIMI, FHIR & Argonaut

Saw an interesting question and answer on the SMART support forum about the relationship between SMART and FHIR which Josh has allowed be to copy here (as it’s so topical might now). The question was:
Anyone who happens to know … I’d appreciate it if you could clue me in…
Other than the kick ass implementations done on the SMART-on-FHIR side of world, is there something that SMART adds definitionally to the pile of stuff at documented in a very scattered fashion (not a criticism – it’s the nature of what these things) over at HL7 FHIR? Or is it Boston Children’s/Harvard’s project working to implement the HL7 FHIR standards in a coherent way? Or … what?
Also, via CIMI (which I get the purpose of, I think), I came across Health Services Platform Consortium (HSPC). What are they doing that SMART-on-FHIR isn’t doing? Even all of the posted “apps” that “they” have developed that are running come from you. Do they (above and beyond what the mission is here) have a technical purpose? Or is it politics or marketing or something of the like that I don’t understand.
Project Argonaut and FHIR

Most readers of this blog will be familiar with Project Argonaut – a project announced last year under the aegis of HL7 but funded by a number of US Vendors & Healthcare Providers to help accelerate the development of FHIR, and also the ‘SMART on FHIR‘ project.
Last week there was an on-line kick-off meeting attended by almost 100 people to describe the scope and purpose of the project, and to invite participation in the next phase. The project team were at pains to emphasise that the purpose of Argonaut is to accelerate the current work – it is not a ‘fork’ of the specification, or in competition with it in any way. All of the outputs remain fully open source – in fact they define it as a ‘code and documentation sprint’ – one that is time based and will finish once the objectives have been achieved (though, to my mind, follow-on projects are likely).

An interesting development in the US using FHIR to access data in EHR systems:
- The official notification from Chuck
- and another from John Halamka
- Health Informatics article
exciting times!
