FHIR Bulk Data Export (170.315 (b)(10) required)

Exporting large FHIR datasets from an FHIR server using regular RESTful API can be a tricky task: each resource type requires a separate API call and, taking pagination into account, it can result in hundreds of requests. FHIR Bulk Data Export is an operation aimed at solving this issue.

The FHIR Bulk Export Service is intended to fulfill the 21st Century Cures bulk data export requirements. Bulk export operation allows to configure and invoke data export within one API call, whether that be data for all patients, data for a subset (defined group) of patients, or all FHIR data on the server. The export process happens asynchronously to lower the load on system performance and the results are available for several days to download from media storage.

The FHIR Bulk Export service enables API consumers to export USCDI (United States Core Data for Interoperability) clinical data for all patients in a particular context.

This implementation is based on Bulk Data Access IG.

Please refer to the full description of FHIR bulk export feature to review the supported export levels, implementation notes, kick-off requests, status requests, security considerations, and instructions for downloading exported results.

170.315 (b)(10) Electronic Health Information (EHI) Export

170.315 (b)(10) specifically addresses the Electronic Health Information (EHI) Export requirement. To comply with this requirement, Kodjin FHIR Server offers full support through its Bulk Data Export feature. Before using Bulk Data Export (BDE) to facilitate EHI Export for B.10, we recommend reviewing the technical documentation provided below for setting up BDE. For comprehensive information on meeting the B.10 regulation, please visit our dedicated 170.315 (b)(10) page.
