Welcome to plone.app.fhirfield’s documentation!¶

Introduction¶

FHIR Fast Heathcare Interoperability Resource

FHIR Search Query¶

This product has a query builder helper, that is actually transforming fhir search params into Plone’s search compatible params so that PortalCatalog tool understand what to do. Each of FHIR Indexes provided by this product, by default using this query builder but it is possible to provide prepared query.

Query Builder¶

plone.app.fhir.field.helpers.build_elasticsearch_query takes only HL7 fhir standard search parameters and transforms to elasticsearch compatible query that is executing through plone catalog search. However belows are lists of standard parameters those are supported by this Query Builder (more to continue adding, until full supports are completed)

Integrate in your REST API service¶

This product has been got all battery included to be integrated with plone.restapi for becoming HL7 FHIR standard RESTful API server which would provide search service as defined here.

Example RESTful service could be found here

Migration¶

1.0.0rc3 to 1.0.0rc4¶

Keep backup of existing Data.fs (nice to have)
Go to plone control panel’s Addon settings
Uninstall and Install again plone.app.fhirfield

1.0.0b6 to 1.0.0rc3¶

Keep backup of existing Data.fs (important)
Just Clear and Rebuild existing catalogs. Go to site management -> portal_catalog -> Advanced Tab and click the Clear and Rebuild button. Caution: this activity could take longer time.

1.0.0bx to 1.0.0b6¶

You will need to remove all the indexes who are based on Fhir*******Index. Go to ZMI to portal catalog tool. {site url}/portal_catalog/manage_catalogIndexes.
Update the plone.app.fhirfield version and run the buildout.
List out any products those defined (profile/catalog.xml) indexes based on Fhir*******Index as meta type. Reninstall them all.
From ZMI, portal_catalog tool, {site url}/portal_catalog/manage_catalogAdvanced Clear and Rebuild

Changelog¶

1.0.0rc4 (2018-10-25)¶

Breaking

Drop support for Plone 4.xx (sorry).

Improvements

Issue#10 JSON Viewer added in display mode.
Issue#18 api module to make available for all publicly usable methods, functions, classes.
Issue#17 Add suports for duplicate param names into query string. It is now possible to provide multiple condition for same param type. For example ?_lastUpdated=gt2015-10-15T06:31:18+00:00&_lastUpdated=lt2018-01-15T06:31:18+00:00
Issue#10 Add support for Composite type FHIR search param.
Issue#13 Add support for Address and ContactPoint mapping. It opens up many search params.
Mappings are more enriched, so many missing mappings are added, like valueString, valueQuantity and so on.[nazrulworld]
Issue#12 Full support for code search param type has been added, it also opens up for other search parameters (y).
Issue#15 support for Humanane mapping in search.

1.0.0rc3 (2018-09-22)¶

Improvements

Issue: 6 A major improvement has been done, now very slim version (id, resourceType, meta) of FHIR json resource has been indexed in ZCatalog (zope index) version, however previously whole fhir resource was stored as a result now huge storage savings, perhaps improves indexing performance. [nazrulworld]

1.0.0rc2 (2018-08-29)¶

Bugfixes

Issue 5: FHIR search’s modifier ‘missing’ is not working for nested mapping

1.0.0rc1 (2018-08-27)¶

Newfeatures

Identifier search parameter is active now (both array of identifier and single object identifier).
Array of Reference query support (for example basedOn (list of reference) ) is active now. Although normal object reference has already been supported.
All available mappings for searchable resources are generated.
FHIR search sort feature is available!
fhirfield.es.index.mapping.nested_fields.limit, fhirfield.es.index.mapping.depth.limit and fhirfield.es.index.mapping.total_fields.limit registry records are available to setup ES mapping
URI and Number type parameter based search are fully available.
`resourceType` filter is automatically injected into every generated query. Query Builder knows about which resourceType should be.

Field

Background (plone.app.fhirfield)¶

FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is the industry standard for Healthcare system. Our intend to implement FHIR based system using Plone! plone.app.fhirfield will make life easier to create, manage content for FHIR resources as well search facilities for any FHIR Resources.

How It Works¶

This field is working as like other zope.schema field, just add and use it. You will feed the field value as either json string or python dict of FHIR resources through web form or any restapi client. This field has built-in FHIR resource validator and parser.

Example:

from plone.app.fhirfield import FhirResource
from plone.supermodel import model

class IMyContent(model.Schema):

    <resource_type>_resource = FhirResource(
        title=u'your title',
        desciption=u'your desciption',
        resource_type='any fhir resource type[optional]'
    )

The field’s value is the instance of a specilized class FhirResourceValue inside the context, which is kind of proxy class of fhirclient model with additional methods and attributes.

Make field indexable

A specilized Catalog PluginIndexes is named FhirFieldIndex is available, you will use it as like other catalog indexes. However importantly you have to maintain a strict convention (index name must be started with any valid fhir resource name (no matter uppercase or lowercase) and should _(underscore) be used as separator, i.e task_index(<resource>_<any name>))

Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_catalog" meta_type="Plone Catalog Tool">
    <index name="organization_resource" meta_type="FhirFieldIndex">
        <indexed_attr value="organization_resource"/>
    </index>
</object>

Features¶

Plone restapi support
Widget: z3cform support
plone.supermodel support
plone.rfc822 marshaler field support
100% FHIR search compliance catalog search.

Available Field’s Options¶

This field has got all standard options (i.e title, required, desciption and so on) with additionally options for the purpose of either validation or constraint those are related to FHIR.

resource_type

Required: No

Default: None

Type: String

The name of FHIR resource can be used as constraint, meaning that we can restricted only accept certain resource. If FHIR json is provided that contains other resource type, would raise validation error. Example: FhirResource(….,resource_type=’Patient’)

model

Required: No

Default: None

Type: String + full python path (dotted) of the model class.

Like resource_type option, it can be used as constraint, however additionally this option enable us to use custom model class other than fhirclient’s model. Example: FhirResource(….,model=’fhirclient.models.patient.Patient’)

model_interface

Required: No

Default: None

Type: String + full python path (dotted) of the model class.

Unlike model option, this option has more versatile goal although you can use it for single resource restriction. The advanced usecase like, the field could accept muiltiple resources types those model class implements the provided interface. For example you made a interface called IMedicalService and (Organization, Patient, Practitioner) models those are implementing IMedicalService. So when you provides this option value, actually three types of fhir json can now be accepted by this field. Example: FhirResource(….,model=’plone.app.interfaces.IFhirResourceModel’)

Field’s Value API¶

Field’s value is a specilized class plone.app.fhirfield.value.FhirResourceValue which has reponsibilty to act as proxy of fhirclient model’s class. This class provides some powerful methods.

FhirResourceValue::as_json

Originally this method is derived from fhirclient base model, you will always have to use this method during negotiation (although our serializer doing that for you automatically). This method not takes any argument, it returns FHIR json representation of resource.

FhirResourceValue::patch

If you are familar with FHIRPath Patch, this method one of the strongest weapon of this class. Patch applying on any FHIR resources is noting but so easy. This method takes one mandatory argument patch_data and that value should be list of patch items (jsonpatch).

Example:
from plone.app.fhirfield import FhirResource
from plone.supermodel import model

class ITask(model.Schema):

    resource = FhirResource(
        title=u'your title',
        desciption=u'your desciption',
        resource_type='Task'
    )

patch_data = [
  {'op': 'replace', 'path': '/source/display', 'value': 'Patched display'},
  {'op': 'replace', 'path': '/status', 'value': 'Reopen'}
]
task_content.resource.patch(patch_data)

FhirResourceValue::stringify

This method returns string representation of fhir resource json value. Normally as_json returns python’s dict type data. This method takes optional prettify argument, by setting this argument True, method will return human/print friendly representation.

FhirResourceValue::foreground_origin

There may some situation come, where you will need just pure instance of fhir model, this method serves that purpose. This method returns current fhir resource model’s instance.

Example:

from fhirclient.models.task import Task
from plone.app.fhirfield import FhirResource
from plone.supermodel import model

class ITask(model.Schema):

    resource = FhirResource(
        title=u'your title',
        desciption=u'your desciption',
        resource_type='Task'
    )

task = task_content.resource.foreground_origin()
assert isinstance(task, Task)

Helper API¶

This package provides some useful functions those could be usable in your codebase.

resource_type_str_to_fhir_model

This function return appropriate fhirclient model class based on provided resource type. On wrong resource type zope.interface.Invalid exception is raisen.

Example:
>>> from plone.app.fhirfield.helpers import resource_type_str_to_fhir_model
>>> task_model_class = resource_type_str_to_fhir_model('Task')

elasticsearch setup¶

If your intent to use elasticsearch based indexing and query, this section for you! you can find more details here

server setup¶

server version is restricted to 2.4.x, means we cannot use latest version of elasticsearch. i.e 5.6.x

Download from here and install according to documentation.
For development you could use docker container. The Makefile is available, ~$ make run-es

collective.elasticsearch setup¶

Full configuration guide could be found here. Simple steps are described bellow.

create catalog/indexes: First you will need add indexes for each fhirfield used in your project. each resource type has it’s own Meta Index. example is here
Install collective.elasticsearch addon from plone control panel.
Convert your Indexes to elasticsearch. Go To {portal url}/@@elastic-controlpanel
In the settings form’s Indexes for which all searches are done through ElasticSearch section add your all indexes those you mentioned into catalog.xml file, also add portal_type
Now save and again Convert Catalog.

Installation¶

Install plone.app.fhirfield by adding it to your buildout:

[buildout]

...

eggs =
    plone.app.fhirfield [elasticsearch]

and then running bin/buildout. Go to plone control and install plone.app.fhirfield or If you are creating an addon that depends on this product, you may add <dependency>profile-plone.app.fhirfield:default</dependency> in metadata.xml at profiles.

configuration¶

This product provides three plone registry based records fhirfield.es.index.mapping.nested_fields.limit, fhirfield.es.index.mapping.depth.limit, fhirfield.es.index.mapping.total_fields.limit. Those are related to ElasticSearch index mapping setup, if you aware about it, then you have option to modify from plone control panel (Registry).
