FHIR Bulk Data - SQL Analytics API
FHIR is normally used to enable access to data one patient or resource at a time, but new FHIR Bulk Data APIs are making population level data transfer and analytics possible. That means, any app can run deep queries that support JOINs, GROUP BYs, and other aggregations that are not possible on FHIR directly.

Dev Examples
Although FHIR Bulk Data transfer standard will help communicate pop health data between organizations, it will not enable easy interaction on the data directly. That's why the 1upHealth FHIR API platform supports an ANSI SQL interface into all FHIR data stored. The available tables are:
FHIR Bulk Data Analytics APIs are currently available in the 1up development environment. View the examples below to test in dev. All examples connect to the Athena Query Engine on AWS using JDBC connectivity.

We Are Experts
Our team is literally setting the standards here. We are balloting the FHIR Bulk Data specification through the HL7 standards body along with support from the SMART Health IT team. Additionally, we are building THE reference implementation via the $1M LEAP Grant from the US government in our collaboration with Boston Children's Hospital.
Legislation & Policy
Under new patient access rules, CMS is planning to transform its data pipeline to use FHIR and the FHIR Bulk Data specification. Soon millions of patients' medical claims data will be transmitted using the FHIR Bulk Data APIs. What that will ultimately lead to is most payor / provider relationships will lead to the use of these standard methods of data transfer. This standardization will drastically reduce the esoteric knowledge and interfaces currently required to transmit population level electronic health information.
Use cases
Numerous use cases for bulk electronic health data transfer and analytics can be supported. Many examples solve or improve upon existing needs using a standards based approach and others will unlock the future of healthcare.
- Population health analytics for managing risk or risk adjustments
- Reporting on quality and costs
- Multi EHR or data ware house integrations
- Automating reporting for audits or other partners
- Anonymized research data sets for public health
- Public health surveillance
- Network referrals and leakage analysis
- Calculating HEDIS measures
- Extracting features for machine learning models and, one day, decisions made by artificial intelligent doctor agents
