HL7 FHIR

Synthea generates HL7 FHIR records using the HAPI FHIR library to generate a FHIR Bundle for each Patient. Currently, only JSON is supported.

Currently supported FHIR Resources:

• Bundle
• Patient
• Encounter
• Condition
• AllergyIntolerance
• Observation
• DiagnosticReport
• Procedure
• ImagingStudy
• Immunization
• CarePlan
• MedicationRequest

The exporting of FHIR can be configured using the src/main/resources/synthea.properties:

# default FHIR configuration.
exporter.fhir.export = true
# transaction bundle 'true' produces transaction Bundles
# while 'false' produces collection Bundles.
exporter.fhir.transaction_bundle = true
# Standard Health Record (SHR) extensions for STU3
exporter.fhir.use_shr_extensions = true
# Exporting FHIR DSTU2
exporter.fhir_dstu2.export = false
# Exporting Hospital Provider Data in STU3 or DSTU2
exporter.hospital.fhir.export = true
exporter.hospital.fhir_dstu2.export = false
