**Background:**   
The [LH Toolkit](https://gitlab.com/librehealth/toolkit/lh-toolkit) LibreHealth Toolkit is a software API and user interface component that can be used to create electronic health record systems. A number of projects use lh-toolkit as a framework to store data and import/export data for interoperability testing and compliance.

**Project description:**   
This project is to implement [FHIR bulk data export](https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/bulk-data/export.html) endpoint into the Web API, so that data within the lh-toolkit can be exported as ndjson files. This can be implemented by integrating the HAPI-FHIR or other approaches within the Toolkit’s Spring Java Framework architecture. The maven integration to integrate HAPI-FHIR is straightforward, and that would enable using its bulk export and FHIR R4 implementation into the Toolkit project.

**Preliminary tasks:**

1. Create NDJSON export from the [Synthea project](https://github.com/synthetichealth/synthea) for testing/validation.
2. Create C-CDA export from the [Synthea project](https://github.com/synthetichealth/synthea) for testing/validation.

**Skills required:**

1. Java Spring web framework (critical skill)
2. FHIR and REST Web Services (required skill)
3. Maven and Gradle (good to have)

**Mentors:**

One work that has been done in the past, that you can try and replicate is to integrate the HAPI FHIR as a module into the toolkit. You can look at a few different approaches that have been tried.

- [GitHub - openmrs/openmrs-module-fhir2: This is a module implementing a FHIR interface for OpenMRS](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-fhir2)
- [GitHub - hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter](https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter)

You can put your repo link in the project application   
@namratanehete anything else that you’d suggest?
