Tracks

  • Track 1: Introduction to FHIR

HL7 Australia and The Australian Digital Health Agency are pleased to host activities to provide a technical introduction to FHIR.

This track is aimed at those new to FHIR and will enable a detailed guided walk-through using web-based material. 

As this connectathon will be run over one day it would be advised that people looking to attended the beginner track familiarise themselves with the web martial we will be covering. This can be found at http://fhir-drills.github.io/

The site consists of a set of tutorials and it would be good if people could take a look at the Overview page and attempt the Simple Patient tutorial. This first tutorial talks the user through setting up the key tool we will use for the rest of the day, Postman. If attended can make some progress on this setup task then we might make it to the FHIR Exercises near the end of the day, which is the fun bit!

That said, don’t fret. I will be there to help on the day and there is no better way to learn than by making mistakes. 

A laptop with a modern browser is required to enable participation in this activity.
