First Collaborative Datathon Between HL7 and AMIA: Informatics in the Age of FHIR
On March 26th, the first HL7-AMIA Datathon: Informatics in the Age of FHIR was held in conjunction with AMIA's 2017 Joint Summits on Translational Medicine in San Francisco, CA.
While this datathon was similar to an HL7 FHIR Connectathon, it was geared towards clinical informaticists and designed to provide them with the technical skills to evaluate and use HL7's Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard to support research and discovery.
It was an intense day of hands-on, heads down development, working directly with fellow participants as well as HL7 FHIR experts.
