Rust FHIR Server Trial

A proof-of-concept HL7® FHIR® Server implementation written in Rust. This project explores the use of the fhir-sdk for resource handling and MongoDB as a flexible backend for storing FHIR resources.

🚀 Overview

This server is currently in a "trial" state. It demonstrates the core flow of receiving, storing, and retrieving clinical data using the FHIR standard.

Current Capabilities

• Resource Support: Focused on the Patient resource.
• Persistence: Fully integrated with MongoDB.
• Create: POST /fhir/Patient - Validates and inserts a Patient resource.
• Search: GET /fhir/Patient?name=... - Queries the database and returns a FHIR Bundle of type searchset.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Language: Rust
• FHIR Logic: fhir-sdk (Crates.io)
• Database: MongoDB
• Async Runtime: Tokio

🚦 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable version)
• MongoDB running locally (default: mongodb://localhost:27017) OR Docker

Running with Docker (Recommended for MongoDB)

If you don't have MongoDB installed locally, you can start it using Docker:

docker run -d --name fhir-mongo -p 27017:27017 mongo:latest
