" summary

Describes two concrete FHIR projects: a mobile X-ray truck serving ~60 clinics weekly that sends radiology text into a point‑of‑care view using only the DiagnosticReport and ImagingStudy resources so clinicians get clear answers, implemented in one week by a developer new to FHIR; and a lightweight web component platform (Cassandra + Apache Spark backend, Google Summer of Code UIs) that exposes queries like “patients with >15 observations” to non‑coders to cut reporting time. Notes OpenMRS at ~3,000 sites and 8.6M patients.
