SMART, CIMI, FHIR & Argonaut
March 4, 2015 1 Comment
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.
