Firemetrics

Firemetrics is a FHIR-native Clinical Data Repository (CDR). All clinical data – demographics, conditions, medications, allergies, laboratory observations, imaging reports, and encounter documentation – is stored natively as HL7 FHIR resources, with integrated terminology tooling for LOINC, RadLex, UCUM and related code systems. The Firemetrics technology is in use at, among others, 38 German university hospitals.

Firemetrics operates the Firemetrics Patient Dashboard, a patient-facing web application that presents an individual’s health record in a clear, human-readable form. The Patient Dashboard was developed, and continues to be advanced, in line with the specifications of gematik, the German national agency for digital health, and is widely regarded as part of Germany’s preparation for the European Health Data Space.

The xShare Yellow Button will be integrated directly into the Patient Dashboard. The demonstration flow follows the xShare Yellow Button Implementation Guide:
(1) the user authenticates as a natural person – the dashboard displays first name, last name and email address of the authenticated user;
(2) the user selects the data category to export – Patient Summary, Laboratory Results or Imaging Reports – optionally filtered by date range or care episode;
(3) on activating the Yellow Button, the system assembles the corresponding EEHRxF-conformant FHIR document bundle and either offers it for download (Download – Provider) or generates a secure, single-use SMART Health Link for sharing it with a recipient (One-Time Share Smart Health Link Provider);
(4) the dashboard renders the exported document in humanreadable form so the user can review exactly what they are downloading or sharing.
