Norwegian FHIR Hackathon 2026 - Local Development build (v1.0.3) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Medication Definition

A closer look at R5's Medication Definition module, and how the resources are used to implement IDMP-compatible medication databases with FHIR.

We'll explore the public API of EMA's PMS, now in public beta, and NoMA's FHIR services.

• How to get access to the service
• What data is available in the service
• How can the service be connected to other data sources (e.g., national medication databases, warnings or guidelines)
• How to visualize the data for end users

The agenda at the hackathon is flexible and gives space for the topics the participants are interested in. Feel free to bring your own use case. How can these services be useful to you?

Prerequisites

Get your API keys in advance for the services you are interested in testing.

Read the service documentations and the API specifications.

PMS Public API Beta

The public beta is open from June 2026 until early 2027. We expect the API to be available before and during the hackathon.

For information on PMS, see Substance and product data management services.

Registration is free and fully self-service. Follow the instructions in the EU IDMP Implementation Guide, Chapter 1, Annex B.

The available endpoints and parameters are described in the PMS OpenAPI Specification. The specification also includes the data elements returned by the service.

NoMA FHIR Service

NoMA's FHIR Service is available both in production and a test environment. Read How to Access the FHIR Service and contact NoMA for an API key. The test environment can be a good fit for testing at the hackathon.

The use and content of the service is documented in the Implementation Guide for NOMA's FHIR API v2.0.
