HL7 FHIR Connectathon - Virtual

Event Overview

What is a Connectathon?
An HL7 FHIR Connectathon is an event that is centered on developing the HL7 FHIR specification including resources, profiles and implementation guides. The purpose is to prove that the specification is complete and to facilitate FHIR implementation guide maturity.

The HL7 FHIR Connectathon Approach
The FHIR community vision is to enable healthcare Interoperability through FHIR, using that to deliver improvements in healthcare throughout the world. Connectathon participants come together several times per year to work alongside vendors, peers, healthcare providers and administrators, as well as those that actually wrote the HL7 FHIR specification. Test tools are made available for developers to rapidly learn to implement the standard and validate their conformance to the specification and mature implementation guides. The community vision is highly reliant on building a specification for healthcare APIs that is highly reusable. The fact that an implementation guide can be re-used at many deployments drives down the time requirements and costs while increasing the quality of health data.

FHIR resources and implementation guides that are early in their maturity are more open for debate. When multiple stakeholders convene and discover that their code does not interoperate, either the specification or IG was not correctly interpreted or the FHIR documentation was not complete enough. The FHIR specification is often improved during the Connectathon and relies on transparency in the work that takes place during these events.
