We can support you to set up the adapter. We are actively using it in our projects and are contributing to its development. You can reach out on private message and we can pick it up from there.
We have interacted on July on the HAPI-FHIR group, thank you for the responses. Unfortunately, we were not able to implement your own version of the adapter, due to lack of documentation back then; the provided slides did not suffice. Although, if there is documentation now, that would be great, and I would love to revisit your repository and retry the implementation. Thank you!
The documentation (its absence) is the same and we do not intend either to implement our own version like yourselves. Nothing has changed since I recall I shared a video on how to set it up.
We have been running on the core (dhis2) version of the adapter, and merge all of our improvements for the benefit of all in the community. However, as you noted - we are currently ahead on our branch - which has some few generic improvements that have not yet been merged with the core pending some reorganisation around the core development of the adapter. The net effect is that we are not working on any particular customisation of the adapter for obvious reasons and our current improvements will be submitted to the core shortly.
Perhaps you could clarify on where exactly you are getting stuck so we can understand the support you need?
the Wiki acts as the repository for the documentation of the adapter. For the current version 1.1, it contains about 300 A4 sized pages. Unfortunately, some links to external files do not work any longer (have been removed in September). If some of these files are required, I can provide them.
A guide for a quick setup and how to use the FHIR REST services can be found in this YouTube Video (added on 19th of August).
I have created another YouTube Video that contains the tutorial for the simple installation of DHIS2 FHIR Adapter. It follows the steps that are described by the README file that is located in the DHIS2 FHIR Adapter repository on GitHub. It ends in a verification of the installation. This simple installation has also been shown during the second part of my presentation on DHIS2 Annual Conference 2019.
Sorry for the late repy. Basically, I am stuck on the part where I need to run the adapter, but it can’t find the DHIS2_HOME. I have followed the instructions on the github faithfully, but kept running to this error. Thank you for all the patience and help.
If you run the adapter in the same Tomcat instance like DHIS2 web application, then environment variable DHIS2_HOME must have been set already (see sections 9.4.2 and 9.4.9 of Home - DHIS2 Documentation).
If you would like to run the adapter in a different Tomcat instance or standalone, then DHIS2_HOME environment must be set. For running it in a different Tomcat instance it must be set in the same way like for DHIS2 (see documentation referenced above), for running it standalone it must be set before starting the adapter (e.g. export DHIS2_HOME=/home/dhis/config).
unfortunately there is no additional documentation available on how to install the adapter on Windows. The procedure equals the installation procedure on UNIX environment.
Please follow the installation instruction that can be found at Configuration.
The configuration file named application.yml must be created in directory %DHIS2_HOME%/services/fhir-adapter, which is in your case C:\home\dhis\config\services\fhir-adapter. So the file C:\home\dhis\config\services\fhir-adapter\application.yml must be created that contains the content that is described in the above mentioned installation instruction.
I am a medicine student and Medical informatics, my project is to repport patient data from OpenEMR to DHIS2 , it is for this reason i try to use HAPI FHIR and DHIS2 FHIR Adapter to build interoperability between OpenEMR and DHIS2.
your suggestions are the welcome!!!
Hello, i have difficulties in my implementation of patient data exchanging from OpenEMR to DHIS2 by using DHIS2 FHIR Adapter ! can you help me with a guide ?
