Make your engineers fluent in healthcare interoperability.

Instructor-led, hands-on training that takes enterprise developers from HL7 theory to shipping conformant FHIR — five weeks, dual-stack Java & .NET, every concept reinforced by auto-graded labs on a platform we built for the job.

The FHIR Interoperability Academy

A five-week corporate cohort that has been run on-site for a leading healthcare-technology enterprise and refined batch over batch.

01 / built for teams

Mixed skill levels, handled

Freshers, senior engineers and non-clinical developers in one room. A pre-training self-assessment bands each learner and routes anyone below the bar to a bridge module — so day one starts on level ground.

02 / real practice

Protected time to actually code

Five weeks with a weekly study break, so practice isn't crushed between client work and HR activities. Every kata is auto-graded with instant pass/fail feedback and unlimited retries.

03 / zero setup loss

Ready before day one

A gated orientation and environment pre-flight — network, toolchain, containers — checked before the room opens, so we don't lose the first two days to laptops that won't build.


What your team will master

From the resource model to the wire, and the imaging stack beside it.

Standards taught the way they're used in production — against conformance, not slideware.

FHIR · CORE

The FHIR resource model

Resources, references and Bundles; the RESTful API; search, versioning and the interaction patterns real EHR integrations lean on.

The delivery platform

We don't hand out slides. We hand out a graded lab environment.

A self-hosted learning stack, purpose-built for this course — so practice, grading and progress live in one place.

LMS

Managed cohort & curriculum

A Moodle-based classroom carries enrollment, scheduling, resources and the gradebook — with self-enrolment disabled and a screened roster.

LABS

Auto-graded coding, in the browser

Submissions compile and run inside a sandboxed runner and post a grade back instantly — Java today, .NET alongside it. Retry until it passes.

TRACK

An Exercism-format FHIR track

Real, deterministic katas authored from production lab work — offline-runnable so tests never flake on a live endpoint.

SSO

Single sign-on

One identity across the platform via Keycloak — enterprise-ready access for a managed cohort.

How grading works

Each exercise ships an instruction set, a starter stub and a hidden test suite. Your engineer writes the solution; the runner executes the suite in an isolated sandbox and returns a pass/fail with the failing assertions — the same loop, dual-stack, for every kata.

IHE Interoperability Enablement — Sumasoft / OneSG

Technicise ran a mentor-led IHE interoperability program that took a polyglot engineering team — Java, .NET, Node.js and Python backgrounds — from healthcare-standards basics to working IHE ITI integration endpoints. Rather than lecture from slides, the program was built around real proof-of-concept implementations: engineers stood up and debugged live endpoints against NIST reference toolkits, with Technicise mentors reviewing, unblocking and delegating supervised practice throughout.

The core deliverable was two production-shaped integration endpoints — an HL7 v2 ADT/MDM receiving pipeline (IHE ITI-8, on Mirth Connect) and an XDS.b cross-enterprise document-sharing endpoint implementing Provide & Register (ITI-41), Retrieve Document Set (ITI-43) and Registry Stored Query (ITI-18) over HL7 v3 / ebXML SOAP. Along the way the team worked through CDA / C-CDA and USCDI document structures, generated and rendered clinical summaries (IHE XDS-MS Content Creator / Consumer), and explored closed-loop referral (360X) and OpenMRS REST/FHIR APIs. The engagement closed with team-based capstones that combined the individual skills into end-to-end flows.

Focus: IHE ITI · CDA / C-CDA · HL7 v2/v3 document sharing — a standards-and-toolkit build-out, distinct from the deep-FHIR flagship program above.
