FHIR R4 Resource models generated from FHIR StructureDefinitions.
The StructureDefinitions, XML Schemas, and examples are reused from the HL7 FHIR build tools.
Getting Started
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake fhir:console
Features
- FHIR R4 Resource Models
- XML and JSON support
- Resource Validation
- Not Supported
- Primitive Extensions
- FHIR Comments
Resource Basics
Using XML...
xml = File.read('patient-example.xml')
patient = FHIR.from_contents(xml)
puts patient.to_xml
Using JSON...
json = File.read('patient-example.json')
patient = FHIR.from_contents(json)
puts patient.to_json
Creating an Observation
by hand...
obs = FHIR::Observation.new(
'status' => 'final',
'code' => {
'coding' => [{ 'system' => 'http://loinc.org', 'code' => '3141-9', 'display' => 'Weight Measured' }],
'text' => 'Weight Measured'
},
'category' => {
'coding' => [{ 'system' => 'http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-category', 'code' => 'vital-signs' }]
},
'subject' => { 'reference' => 'Patient/example' },
'context' => { 'reference' => 'Encounter/example' }
)
obs.valueQuantity = FHIR::Quantity.new(
'value' => 185,
'unit' => 'lbs',
'code' => '[lb_av]',
'system' => 'http://unitsofmeasure.org'
)
Iterating over all elements in a resource, including nested elements...
patient.each_element do |value, metadata, path|
puts "Info for #{path}:"
puts "- value: #{value}"
puts "- type: #{metadata['type']}"
puts "- cardinality: #{metadata['min']}..#{metadata['max']}"
end
Validation
Using built in validation...
patient.valid? # returns true or false
patient.validate # returns Hash of errors, empty if valid
Using a profile or structure definition...
sd = FHIR::Definitions.resource_definition('Patient')
sd.validates_resource?(patient) # passing in FHIR::Patient
# Validation failed? Get the errors and warnings...
puts sd.errors
puts sd.warnings
