Abstract
This project looks into the development and implementation of an open source EHR software, using a FHIR interface to the system for data exchange. The EMR system used was OpenEMR, which is an open source EMR system that uses MySQL as the database backend combined with Apache and PHP to provide a user interface. The FHIR interface uses HAPI-FHIR which is an open source framework and libraries available for JAVA. Using JAVA, a RESTful API is created in order to respond to requests, and to also receive FHIR messages using the information stored in the two SQL databases, OpenEMR database and the FHIR database.
