Description

FHIR R4 bundles in JSON format are derived from https://synthea.mitre.org/downloads. Transformation inspired by a kaggle notebook published by Dr Alexander Scarlat, https://www.kaggle.com/code/drscarlat/fhir-starter-parse-healthcare-bundles-into-tables. This is a very limited illustration of some basic parsing and reorganization processes. Additional tooling will be required to move beyond the Synthea data illustrations.
