Blue Button Model To FHIR Translator

This library translates health data in blue button model to a FHIR Bundle Resource. Currently the following sections are supported

• Demographics
• Medications
• Problems
• Vitals
• Results
• Allergies

Usage

Require blue-button-gen-fhir

var mtfhir = require('blue-button-gen-fhir');

read in some content that can be parsed by blue-button

var fs = require('fs');
 
var filePath = 'path/to/ccdafile.xml';
var content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8');

translate the content to a FHIR Bundle resource

var bundle = mtfhir.contentToFHIR(content);
console.log(bundle);	

You can also pass a Patient resource to contain patient references. In this case demographics section is ignored

var patientEntry = {
    id: 'Patient/123456789'
    content: {
        resourceType: Patient,
        name: [{
            family: [
                "DOE"
            ],
            given: [
                "JOE"
            ]
        }]
    }
};
 
mtfhir.contentToFHIR(content, patientEntry);

and all the patient references in the Bundle will be updated. Otherwise the patient references are assigned from the newly created patient resource.

By default Medication and Substance resources are included as internal resources. You can request them as external resources instead

var externalize=true;
mtfhir.contentToFHIR(content, patientEntry, externalize);
