Yosemite Project Part 3 Transformations for Integrating VA data with FHIR in RDF

Yosemite Project Part 3 Transformations for Integrating VA data with FHIR in RDF 150 150 Biomedical & Health Informatics (BHI)

In our series on The Yosemite Project, we explore RDF as a data standard for health data. In this installment, we will hear from Rafael Richards, Physician Informatician, Office of Informatics and Analytics in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), about “Transformations for Integrating VA data with FHIR in RDF.”

The VistA EHR has its own data model and vocabularies for representing healthcare data. This webinar describes how SPARQL Inference Notation (SPIN) can be used to translate VistA data to the data represented used by FHIR, an emerging interchange standard.
