A Generic Transformation Approach for Complex Laboratory Data Using the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources Mapping Language: Method Development and Implementation

The tool for the auto-generation of Mirth channels was successfully presented. Our tests reveal the feasibility of using the complex structures of the mapping language in combination with a terminology server to transform instance data. Although the Mirth Server and the FHIR are well established in medical informatics, the combination offers space for more research, especially with regard to FML. Simultaneously, it can be stated that the mapping language still has implementation-related shortcomings that can be compensated by Mirth Connect as a base technology.
