FHIR® - Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources®

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) Tooling and Resources

Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) Related Tools for Use and Evaluation
FHIR® Implementation Guides
FHIR® Testing Tools
  • ClinFHIR®: An open-source tool that provides an educational environment and also allows developers to create or search for FHIR-based resources. This tool helps people learn about FHIR® by visualizing how the parts combine to represent clinical information in a structured and coded manner. It also serves as a development tool with features to build and validate some of the required artifacts, particularly as an aid to learning.
  • FHIR® Servers - Public Testing Servers : HL7® provides a list of FHIR® servers publicly available for testing. These are public services provided by volunteers and HL7® makes no representations concerning their safety or reliability.
  • Postman: A collaboration platform designed for developing and testing application programming interfaces (APIs). Postman simplifies interactions with FHIR® servers, enabling users to post requests and updates efficiently. It is particularly useful for testing FHIR-based eCQMs during Health Level Seven International® Connectathons.
  • CQL Runner: An online platform for ad hoc testing of CQL.
  • Inferno: Inferno is an open-source tool for creating, executing, and sharing automated FHIR® conformance tests. Hosted on HealthIT.gov, it offers public services for running select tests, including those for the ONC Health IT Certification Program, and provides flexible tools for local and integrated testing.
  • Crucible: A suite of open-source testing tools for FHIR®. It helps the FHIR development community ensure correct FHIR implementations. Crucible can test for conformance to the FHIR standards, score patient records for completeness, generate synthetic patient data, and test SMART on FHIR applications.
Test Data Tools
  • SyntheaTM: An open-source repository that enables the generation of realistic but synthetic patient data and health records, covering every aspect of health care. The resulting data is free from cost, privacy, and security restrictions, enabling research with health information technology data that is otherwise legally or practically unavailable.
  • HL7® Downloads: HL7® webpage that contains examples, reference implementations, and other useful resources.
