Node on FHIR v3 - Project HONEYCOMB

Just a quick announcement that the Node on FHIR v3 code was released by MITRE today; and early preview is now available. Project HONEYCOMB is a distributed app (DApp) template for writing healthcare compliant apps that are HIPAA/TEFCA compliant. It’s been used in 100+ prototypes, has had a cybersecurity audit, CMS sponsorship, and yes, it does supports Langchain and LLMs.

Snazzy new features include:

  • entirely rewritten using await/async syntax
  • using the latest Meteor v3 APIs
  • integrated FHIR server (with TEFCA/UDAP support)
  • integrated access control infrastructure
  • consolidated express.js servers (accounts, FHIR server, oauth server, etc)
  • clinical decision support (CDS) hooks
  • tested to work with both Epic and Oracle/Cerner sandboxes
  • tested with Langchain.js
  • FHIR React Components back in core (with tree shaking!)
  • Node on FHIR Cookbook

This is a release candidate, and there is some cleanup before we pin it at an official release. Immediate near term tasks before the official release include:

  • setting up continuous integration
  • setting up e2e/integration tests
  • setting up security scanning
  • migrating the accounts entry UI
  • migrating the HIPAA logging UI
  • migrating additional FHIR UI components
  • upgrade to use the Speedy Web Compiler (SWC)
  • make sure tree-shaking is working
  • meteor create --honeycomb

We’ll make a more official announcement in the upcoming weeks; and are aiming for a September release to coincide with both the Meteor Impact conference and the Sept HL7 Workgroup meeting.

Lastly, please note that clinical-meteor GitHub organization has been renamed to node-on-fhir.
