Abstract:
Data analysis with popular statistical toolchains like R usually needs to be performed on "flat tables" (so-called dataframes). However, data exchange is often done with FHIR, a format that is based on a hierarchical data model. In this paper, we want to present our tool FhirExtinguisher, which tackles the problems of loading FHIR data into statistical tools by extending the FHIRSearch API with an additional projection layer using FHIRPath. This projection layer can be used to select the data elements of interest and create a CSV file, which can be easily read as dataframe by almost any statistical toolchain.

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
