Azure Health Data Services Toolkit Release

We are excited to announce the release of the Azure Health Data Services Toolkit, an open-source project that enables our customers to more easily customize and extend the functionality of their Azure Health Data Services implementations.

A developer-centric toolkit for customization

With the growth of health data workloads on Azure, we’ve found that developers need custom behavior on top of our services. Currently, users do not have a consistent and developer-centric approach to allow customization to Health Data Services implementations. Our customers need an easy way to run custom code with Azure Health Data Services. The Health Data Services Toolkit provides patterns and a consistent toolset for our customers, partners, and field to make these customizations and extend the functionality of Azure Health Data Services with a minimum amount of custom code. We’ve abstracted common patterns that we see in customizations and turned those into reusable and modular patterns, which helps developers reduce their time spent writing custom code and gives all of our customers, partners, and field a toolkit that allows for consistent implementation.

Helping unlock custom use cases

Some FHIR use cases that this toolkit can help customers implement are:

  • FHIR operations that are not supported by the FHIR Service yet: trial implementation guides, organization-specific operations, less widely-adopted operations.
  • Implementation guide development.
  • Transforming request and/or response payloads
  • Custom authorization logic, like consent.
  • The toolkit can be used for specialized components inside of a custom data ingestion pipeline.

Speed up time-to-market

The Azure Health Data Services Toolkit is unique in the the first customization toolkit of its kind in in the industry, and reduces solution complexity. This consistent toolkit can help you build new features and deliver use cases more quickly.

We invite you to explore the Azure Health Data Services Toolkit here if you have a need for customizations on Azure Health Data Services. If you have specific use cases that are not covered with our managed service, please consider using this toolkit to help achieve those scenarios! If you have any questions or feedback on other patterns that you’d like us to include in the toolkit, please raise a Github issue.
