SQL on FHIR to SQL Server

Fully featured FHIR tools and libraries are rare.

Most have a “student project” feel, making them interesting but not practically useful.

John Grimes’s “SQL on FHIR” to “SQL Server” tool is one of the good ones.

It implements SQL on FHIR v2 – transforming and flattening out your FHIR data and loading it into a SQL Server database.

Once there it’s accessible via standard SQL queries and Views.

Projects like this are hugely important.

John’s tool makes one of the most difficult parts of working with FHIR easier – transforming FHIR data so that it can be queried for analytical purposes.

Well worth a look, especially if your project is committed to SQL Server.

Here’s the project: https://github.com/aehrc/sof-mssql
