About
Built from practical experience
ImOnFHIR is independently developed by Nick Dugan BSN, RN-BC, CPHIMS.
I am Nick Dugan, a clinician-engineer and healthcare solution architect with 10+ years across clinical care, enterprise IT, interoperability, technical pre-sales, and customer-facing implementation strategy.
Healthcare interoperability is often discussed through standards, diagrams, implementation guides, and isolated payload examples. Real delivery also depends on synthetic data, repeatable scenarios, integration adapters, expected outcomes, completeness analysis, and evidence that can be thought through.
ImOnFHIR exists to make those concepts tangible: working demonstrations, reusable scenarios, observable workflows, testable integrations, explainable architecture, and evidence-backed results—using synthetic data in a controlled environment.
Focus areas
- Healthcare software engineering and implementation workflows
- FHIR-centered interoperability and adapter-based integration
- Prior authorization related workflows (PAS, DTR context)
- Clinical-context retrieval, completeness, and provenance
- Architecture that keeps test data repeatable and observable
Problem-solving approach
- Start from the workflow and expected outcomes
- Keep a controlled registry as source of truth
- Treat external FHIR environments as replaceable projection targets
- Make retrieval gaps and provenance visible
- Prefer working evidence over slides alone
