In a recent episode of the Digital Health Hackers podcast, Nikolai Ryzhikov delved into the journey to FHIR and the inception of Health Samurai, shedding light on the future of digital medicine.
How experience in medical science and programming led to the creation of the first cloud-based EHR systems for hospitals, and later to an introduction to FHIR. What were the key factors in choosing FHIR as the foundation for the company’s future products? Spoiler: the openness and flexibility of the standard, as well as a strong professional community around it, were among the main factors.
Using FHIR as the internal data model and API helps avoid many common mistakes, accelerates development, and ensures compatibility with the rapidly growing ecosystem of solutions and regulatory requirements. This is especially important for scalable and modular next-generation EHR systems.
One of the central topics is how to properly model data in FHIR, taking into account the specifics of different medical domains and the need to extend standard resources. Health Samurai shares unique experience in helping clients with FHIR modeling!
The capabilities of FHIR as a standardized data layer for building analytics platforms, supporting clinical decision-making, and integrating with AI services. Real-world cases are discussed where clients use Aidbox to build platforms for data aggregation and analysis, develop patient portals, and create specialized EHRs for various medical fields.
SQL on FHIR opens up new possibilities for building reports, integrating with BI tools, and rapid data migration, while maintaining flexibility and compatibility with the FHIR ecosystem. This topic was discussed as well.
The development of truly modular EHRs based on FHIR, the emergence of terminology services, as well as SDK generators that enable the development of applications based on FHIR profiles and domain-specific data models.

Had an amazing experience at the FHIR Camp 2024 organized by Health Samurai | Aidbox FHIR® Platform. Inspired by its transformative potential, I look forward to working further in FHIR and hope to see its implementation in Nepal's healthcare system as well.
Though a bit delayed but still I don’t want to miss out on talking about the recently concluded #FHIRCamp2024 organized by Health Samurai | Aidbox FHIR® Platform in the beautiful city of Cascais, Portugal.

I skipped a lot of recent conferences to prioritize attending FHIR Camp 2024 in Portugal the week before last. It was well worth the trip! It was great to hear Grahame Grieve give the background story on how FHIR came to be an open source effort. The open source angle is really important and unique in that it will require a lot of meaningful collaboration and perhaps unprecedented transparency (things we're not great at in the US) to advance these standards in the coming years. There is and will be a lot of opportunity for people to develop and offer FHIR expertise.
It was a pleasure to come to the #FHIR #camp in Cascais as a Hospitals on FHIR ambassador It was a pleasure to exchange our outlook on FHIR #versionning and how to deal with the multiple versions with Grahame Grieve, Lloyd McKenzie, Gino Canessa, Ewout Kramer and Nikolai Ryzhikov I also had the occasion to present the state of FHIR in #France and the work our community is doing to increase adoption And of course, always a pleasure to exchange with friends of the HL7 community.
