Overview

Randomized trial converts MIMIC-IV database into FHIR format, highlighting interoperability challenges and benefits.

Key Points

  • Convert the MIMIC-IV database into FHIR format and publish an implementation guide for usage.
  • Modeled FHIR profiles and terminology system from base FHIR R4 resources.
  • Reorganized data from relational structure into FHIR profiles.
  • Validated resources for conformance and published them as JSON files along with an implementation guide.
  • Created 25 FHIR profiles, 2 extensions, 35 ValueSets, and 34 CodeSystems.
  • Demo dataset included 100 patients with over 915,000 resources.
  • Full dataset contained 315,000 patients and approximately 5,840,000 resources accessible on PhysioNet.
