A workflow orchestration design has to pick a primary anchor resource. In FHIR, the two natural candidates are Task and CarePlan. The two model different things in the spec, but in practice teams reach for one or the other and end up with v

A clinical event stream can be delivered two ways: push, via FHIR Subscriptions, or pull, via consumer-side polling of `_lastUpdated` searches. The two patterns ship with different operational costs and different failure modes, and the choi

A FHIR event-driven tool turns EHR state changes into notifications that downstream systems can act on without polling. The category overlaps with Subscriptions but covers a wider surface, including SMART on FHIR app launches, CDS Hooks tri

A FHIR BPM tool pairs a business process modeling engine with the FHIR resources that hold clinical state. The pairing matters when a care pathway grows past what PlanDefinition and `$apply` model cleanly and lands in the domain of long-run

Acute care pathways stress a FHIR workflow stack in ways that elective and ambulatory pathways rarely do. Latency budgets are tight, event ordering matters, and state has to survive consumer outages without dropping clinical work on the flo

A FHIR integration engine in a multi-hospital workflow has to do two things at once: normalize feeds from systems that each made different conformance choices, and present a single coherent FHIR surface to the downstream care coordination l

A FHIR Subscription engine turns resource state changes into push notifications without forcing consumers to poll the FHIR API. In 2026, the gap between an engine that ships Subscriptions on paper and one that handles a real clinical event

A FHIR Task resource carries the intent, ownership, and status of every unit of clinical work a system tracks. Care coordination workflows live or die on how well a platform handles Task transitions, requester and owner reassignment, and th
