Data interoperability is one of the hardest problems in Healthcare IT. The most popular approach is to exchange HL7v2 messages between systems. These pipe-delimited messages are difficult to read by a human and often need additional customizations between implementations.

The next major paradigm shift is towards FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), a JSON-based standard that is evolving ahead of the needs of the industry. Cloud vendors like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google are trying to lay their claim to be the one-stop shop for healthcare on the cloud.

This blog is part of a 4 part series diving into an actual use case I recently encountered while working with a client. I had to stand up an FHIR repository/API for 2+ million patients that could be used by hundreds of users every day, as well as countless background processes.

This one is just for fun. Iโ€™ve been using FreeBSD off and on since the late 90โ€™s when a good friend, who has since passed, introduced me to the operating system.

Recently, for personal reasons, Iโ€™ve decided to move away from the big IT providers and install FreeBSD on my primary desktop for personal use. Just so itโ€™s clear, I still use the operating system my client uses for work, but for my own personal desktop and coding projects, Iโ€™ve decided to once again install and run FreeBSD.

This post is not a tutorial, but letโ€™s take some time to look at using this โ€œUnix-likeโ€ operating system for real-world situations, such as developing Java applications for fun and profit.
