MIMIC-IV on FHIR: converting a decade of in-patient data into an exchangeable, interoperable format.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Convert the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database into Health Level 7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Additionally, generate and publish an openly available demo of the resources, and create a FHIR Implementation Guide to support and clarify the usage of MIMIC-IV on FHIR.

Materials and methods

FHIR profiles and terminology system of MIMIC-IV were modeled from the base FHIR R4 resources. Data and terminology were reorganized from the relational structure into FHIR according to the profiles. Resources generated were validated for conformance with the FHIR profiles. Finally, FHIR resources were published as newline delimited JSON files and the profiles were packaged into an implementation guide.
