FHIR Data Generator

A Python script that generates synthetic data for the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard. The script reads data from a CSV file and generates FHIR resource instances in FSH (FHIR Shorthand) format.

Usage

To use the FHIR Data Generator, you need to provide the following input parameters:

• -i or --input: The path to the input CSV file containing the data to be converted. This parameter is required.
• -t or --template: The path to the Jinja2 template file to use for generating the FSH output. This parameter is required.
• -o or --output: The path to the output directory where the generated FSH files will be saved. If not provided, the current directory (.) will be used.
• -n or --name: The name to use for the file with the FHIR Shorthand data. If not provided, the default name Data will be used.

Example Usage

python fhir-data-gen.py -i input.csv -t template.fsh.jinja -o output -n Patient

This command will generate FHIR resource instances in FSH format using the input.csv file as input, the template.fsh.jinja file as the template, and saving the output files in the output directory. The resource instances will have the name Patient.

Requirements

The FHIR Data Generator requires Python 3.6 or higher, as well as the following Python packages:

• pandas
• jinja2

You can install these packages using the following command:
