Should I store FHIR resources as actual FHIR resources.
This is one of the most common questions asked about FHIR. Grahame Grieve gives his answer in a DevDays video from 2022.
He talks about the different data requirements of Enterprise-type systems as opposed to faster moving systems that require more flexibility.
His conclusion leans towards a hybrid approach — one that not everyone might agree with.
If you’re an architect working on a large FHIR project, it’s well worth listening to.
If your solution is already in production and encountering performance or other issues, Grahame’s talk might point you in the right direction.
Well worth listening to.
