Bridging research protocols in healthcare systems
summary
Vulcan SoA maps protocol schedules into core FHIR resources and demonstrates a live pipeline: ResearchStudy.protocol → PlanDefinition→CarePlan flow spawns ServiceRequest/Procedure and pulls Observations from a FHIR sandbox (Cetus pilot data) via Postman and a Python script. Implementation avoids extensions, using ActivityDefinition and relatedAction offsets to compute encounter windows and generate queries; the demo finds 41 observations at visit 5 and no observations at visit 6, surfacing an inferred early terminator and showing the approach works for retrospective data extraction.
