Samples for Microsoft FHIR Server for Azure
A sample project showing how to wire up Microsoft's FHIR Server for Azure — patient data import via Blob trigger, a SMART on FHIR dashboard, and ARM templates to spin up the full sandbox. Archived in May 2022 with an explicit deprecation notice. Useful only as historical reference for Azure healthcare API patterns.
The Blob-triggered importer pattern (drop Synthea bundles into a container, Azure Function ingests them) is a practical pattern that still applies to other FHIR deployments. The ARM templates cover a non-trivial multi-resource setup (AAD app registrations, Key Vault, App Service, FHIR API) and are useful as a template even if you don't run them as-is. The E2E test suite uses a proper page-object pattern rather than raw Selenium calls, which is worth borrowing.
The repo is archived and dead — four years of FHIR spec evolution, Azure SDK changes, and AAD deprecations have made the deployment scripts unreliable without significant patching. The FhirImporter Azure Function uses the in-process model, which Microsoft has since retired. The JavaScript dashboard is plain ES5 with no bundler and no real error handling, which was already dated when this was active. There is no upgrade or migration path documented, so anyone who built on this is on their own.
