openFHIR is an open-source engine for healthcare interoperability that enables bidirectional mappings between openEHR and HL7 FHIR, based on the FHIR Connect specification.
openFHIR translates openEHR Compositions and FHIR Resources without storing clinical data itself — making it a flexible component for modern health IT architectures.

If you’d like to explore openFHIR without installing anything locally, you can use the public sandbox environment, which always runs the latest release of openFHIR:
https://sandbox.open-fhir.com/
The sandbox provides a live instance of the openFHIR engine where you can:
- Test FHIR ↔ openEHR transformations
- Validate mapping configurations
- Experiment with API requests
- Explore mapping transformation with a UI called openFHIR Atlas
⚠️ The sandbox is intended for testing and evaluation purposes only.
For local development or testing we recommend running openFHIR using Docker.
docker run -e SPRING_DATA_MONGODB_URI=mongodb://your-mongodb-url \
-p 8080:8080 openfhir/openfhir:latestAdditionally, check out the Docker Compose file for a complete setup with mongodb.
Original openFHIR project was initially open-sourced by MedBlocks in https://github.com/medblocks/openFHIR. Credits:
