FHIR Adapter Capabilities

The FHIR Adapter enables you to create an integration between a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) application server and Oracle Integration. The FHIR Adapter is similar to the REST Adapter, but with a FHIR-specific configuration experience. You can configure the FHIR Adapter as an invoke connection in an integration in Oracle Integration.

An important aspect of integrating healthcare use cases with Oracle Integration is the ability to allow Oracle Integration to call a FHIR application server. FHIR is a standard used to access and exchange healthcare data. FHIR provides clinicians and patients with access to information in a patient's electronic health records.

The FHIR Adapter provides the following capabilities:

  • Supports FHIR version 4.0.1.
  • Supports outbound invocations of FHIR endpoints processed by a FHIR application server.

  • Supports creating, reading, updating, deleting, or searching a FHIR resource.

  • Supports FHIR standard definition resources with the following maturity levels; normative, 5, 4, and 3.

  • Supports the packaged delivery of all FHIR resources to and from the FHIR base specification.

  • Supports custom and standard headers.

  • Supports customized query parameters.

  • Supports the same security policies for outbound invocations as the REST Adapter. See Configure Connection Security.

  • Works exclusively with Oracle Integration for Healthcare to create integrations that interact with healthcare organizations that use FHIR. See Introduction to Oracle Integration for Healthcare in Using Oracle Integration for Healthcare in Oracle Integration 3.

The FHIR Adapter is one of many predefined adapters included with Oracle Integration. See the Adapters page in the Oracle Help Center.
