Importing FHIR data with AWS HealthLake
After creating a HealthLake data store, the next step is to import files from an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. You can start a FHIR import job using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Use native AWS HealthLake actions to start, describe, and list FHIR import jobs.
Important
HealthLake supports the FHIR R4
specification
When starting a FHIR import job, you specify an Amazon S3 bucket input location, an Amazon S3 bucket output location (for job processing results), an IAM role that grants HealthLake access to your Amazon S3 buckets, and a customer owned or AWS owned AWS Key Management Service key. For more information, see Setting up permissions for import jobs.
Note
You can queue import jobs. The asynchronous import jobs are processed in a FIFO (First In First Out) manner. You can queue jobs the same way you start import jobs. If one is in progress, it will simply queue up. You can create, read, update, or delete FHIR resources while an import job is in progress.
HealthLake generates a manifest.json
file for each FHIR import job. The
file describes both the successes and failures of a FHIR import job. HealthLake outputs the
manifest.json
file to the Amazon S3 bucket specified when starting a FHIR
import job. Log files are organized into two folders, named SUCCESS
and
FAILURE
. Use the manifest.json
file as the first
step in troubleshooting a failed import job, as it provides details on each file.
