FHIR Profile Demo

This repository demonstrates how to create, load, and validate FHIR Profiles using InterSystems IRIS for Health.
It includes a sample FHIR repository and a Patient FHIR profile, along with example requests to validate resources against the profile.

The project is containerized using Docker Compose for easy setup and execution.

📌 Features

• Sample FHIR repository configuration
• Patient FHIR profile loaded into IRIS for Health
• Validation of FHIR resources against profiles
• Ready-to-use .http request files
• Fully Dockerized environment

⚙️ Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have the following installed:

• REST Client extension for VS Code

⚙️ Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/AshokThangavel/fhir-profile-demo.git
cd fhir-profile-demo

🐳 Running the Application with Docker

Build and start the application using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up --build

This will:

• Start InterSystems IRIS for Health
• Configure the FHIR repository
• Load the Patient FHIR profile automatically

⏳ Initial startup take a few minutes.

🛑 Stopping the Application

To stop and remove all running containers:

docker-compose down

🔧 Technical Details

Once InterSystems IRIS is up and running:

• The FHIR repository is initialized
• The Patient FHIR profile is loaded into the repository
• Validation endpoints become available

📄 Sample Request Files

Navigate to the requests directory to find validation examples:

1. ValidateCorrectPatientProfile.http

• Sends a valid Patient resource
• Confirms successful validation against the profile

2. ValidateFailedPatientProfile.http

• Sends an invalid Patient resource
• Demonstrates validation failure and error messages

🧪 Using the .http Files

These .http files can be executed directly from Visual Studio Code.

Step 1: Install REST Client Extension

Install the REST Client extension:

• Extension ID: humao.rest-client

Step 2: Run Requests

1. Open any .http file in VS Code
2. Click Send Request above the HTTP request
3. Review the response in the VS Code output pane
