Unbundling the electronic health record using Clojure
summary
Clojure-first architecture turns EHRs into composable event streams: feeds are normalized, annotated with terminology lookups, and split into substreams (example: an antimicrobial event stream driving a real-time dashboard). Tooling includes Hermes and a SNOMED CT implementation plus a graph API that resolves concepts, autocompletes codes, and maps granular diagnoses into analytics-friendly cohorts. A rapid portal and analytics pipeline built for the European Medicines Agency on multiple sclerosis demonstrates the approach: same codebase used for direct care UI, analytics, and research.
