HealthLake FHIR import errors.

10/09/2023

Amazon HealthLake is a service designed to aggregate and structure health data in the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) format. If you're experiencing errors while importing FHIR data into HealthLake, here are some common causes and steps to address them:

  1. Check Data Format and Schema:
    • Ensure that the FHIR data you're trying to import is in the correct format and adheres to the FHIR standard. Check for any missing or incorrect fields.
  2. Verify Data Source:
    • Confirm that the data source from which you're importing FHIR data is accessible and properly configured to provide the data to HealthLake.
  3. Review FHIR Version Compatibility:
    • Verify that the FHIR version used by your data source matches the version supported by HealthLake. Compatibility issues may arise if there are differences in versions.
  4. Inspect Data Mapping:
    • Check the data mapping process to make sure that the FHIR resources and elements are being mapped correctly to HealthLake resources.
  5. Verify Permissions and Access:
    • Confirm that the IAM roles associated with your HealthLake resources have the necessary permissions to access the data source and perform the import.
  6. Monitor for AWS Service Health Issues:
    • Check the AWS Service Health Dashboard for any reported issues with HealthLake or its associated services.
  7. Review CloudWatch Logs:
    • Access the CloudWatch logs generated during the import process to look for error messages, warnings, or any other information that might provide insights into the cause of the import errors.
  8. Check for Data Validation Errors:
    • Review the FHIR data for any validation errors or inconsistencies that might be causing issues during the import process.
  9. Verify Data Source Integration:
    • If you're using an external system or application as a data source, ensure that it's properly integrated with HealthLake and configured to provide data in the FHIR format.
  10. Inspect Data Transformation Process:
    • If you're using a transformation process before importing data into HealthLake, verify that it's correctly transforming the data into the FHIR format.
  11. Regularly Review Import Logs:
    • Periodically review import logs and events to identify any issues or failures that might have occurred after the initial import.
  12. Set Up CloudWatch Alarms:
    • Create CloudWatch Alarms to be notified of critical metrics or events related to your HealthLake import process.
  13. Contact AWS Support:
    • If you've gone through these steps and are still experiencing import errors, consider reaching out to AWS Support for further assistance.

Remember to also refer to the AWS HealthLake documentation and best practices for guidance specific to your healthcare data aggregation and structuring use case.
