+# Python 3.14 Compatibility Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+HealthChain has been updated to support Python 3.14.0 with modernized dependencies. This guide covers the changes, how to upgrade, and how to test compatibility.
+
+---
+
+## What Changed
+
+### Python Version Support
+
+**Previous**: Python 3.10 - 3.11
+**Current**: Python 3.10 - 3.14
+
+### Key Dependency Updates

+
+---
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### For Existing Projects
+
+#### Step 1: Check Current Python Version
+
+```bash
+python3 --version
+```
+
+If you're already on Python 3.14, great! If not, you can either:
+- Continue using Python 3.10-3.13 (fully supported)
+- Upgrade to Python 3.14 for latest features
+
+#### Step 2: Upgrade Python (Optional)
+
+**macOS (using Homebrew)**:
+```bash
+brew install python@3.14
+python3.14 --version
+```
+
+**Ubuntu/Debian**:
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install python3.14 python3.14-venv python3.14-dev
+```
+
+**Windows**:
+Download from https://www.python.org/downloads/
+
+#### Step 3: Recreate Virtual Environment
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to your project
+cd /path/to/your/healthchain/project
+
+# Remove old virtual environment
+rm -rf venv
+
+# Create new virtual environment with Python 3.14
+python3.14 -m venv venv
+
+# Activate
+source venv/bin/activate  # macOS/Linux
+# or
+venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Install Updated HealthChain
+
+```bash
+# Upgrade pip
+pip install --upgrade pip
+
+# Reinstall HealthChain from source (recommended for latest changes)
+cd /path/to/HealthChain/repo
+pip install -e ".[dev,docs]"
+
+# Or install from PyPI (when published)
+# pip install --upgrade healthchain
+```
+
+#### Step 5: Update Your Project Dependencies
+
+If your project has a `requirements.txt`, update it:
+
+```txt
+# Python 3.14 compatible versions
+healthchain>=0.0.0
+numpy>=1.26.0,<3.0.0
+pandas>=2.0.0,<3.0.0
+scikit-learn>=1.5.0
+spacy>=3.8.0,<4.0.0
+pydantic>=2.0.0,<3.0.0
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Compatibility
+
+### Step 1: Quick Smoke Test
+
+```bash
+# Activate your Python 3.14 environment
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Test basic imports
+python -c "import healthchain; print(f'HealthChain version: {healthchain.__version__}')"
+python -c "import numpy; print(f'NumPy version: {numpy.__version__}')"
+python -c "import pandas; print(f'pandas version: {pandas.__version__}')"
+python -c "import spacy; print(f'spaCy version: {spacy.__version__}')"
+python -c "import sklearn; print(f'scikit-learn version: {sklearn.__version__}')"
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+HealthChain version: 0.0.0
+NumPy version: 2.x.x
+pandas version: 2.x.x
+spaCy version: 3.8.x
+scikit-learn version: 1.5.x

+```
+
+Run the test:

+
+### Step 3: Run HealthChain Test Suite
+
+```bash
+# Run full test suite
+cd /path/to/HealthChain
+pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Run specific test modules
+pytest tests/test_fhir/ -v
+pytest tests/test_gateway/ -v
+pytest tests/test_pipeline/ -v
+```
+
+### Step 4: Test Your Application
+
+If you have the diabetes risk app:
+
+```bash
+cd diabetes_risk_app
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Run tests
+pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Start the app
+python app.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues and Workarounds
+
+### Issue 1: NumPy 2.x Breaking Changes
+
+**Problem**: Some NumPy 2.x changes may cause warnings or errors.
+
+**Solution**: NumPy 2.0 has a compatibility layer. Most code works unchanged.
+
+**If you see issues**:
+```python
+# Old NumPy 1.x code that might break
+import numpy as np
+arr = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=np.int)  # ❌ np.int removed
+
+# Fixed for NumPy 2.x
+arr = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=int)  # ✓ Use Python int
+# or
+arr = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=np.int64)  # ✓ Use specific dtype
+```
+
+**Reference**: https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html
+
+### Issue 2: spaCy Model Compatibility
+
+**Problem**: Older spaCy models may not work with spaCy 3.8+
+
+**Solution**: Reinstall models:
+```bash
+python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm --upgrade
+python -m spacy download en_core_sci_sm --upgrade  # for medical NLP
+```
+
+### Issue 3: Pydantic Validation Changes
+
+**Problem**: Some Pydantic validation behavior changed in 2.x
+
+**Solution**: HealthChain already uses Pydantic v2 patterns, but if you see validation errors:
+
+```python
+# If you see Field validation errors
+from pydantic import Field, ConfigDict
+
+class MyModel(BaseModel):
+    model_config = ConfigDict(
+        validate_assignment=True,
+        arbitrary_types_allowed=True
+    )
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### NumPy 2.x Performance
+
+NumPy 2.x includes significant performance improvements:
+- Faster array operations
+- Better memory efficiency
+- Improved SIMD support
+
+**Benchmark results** (approximate):
+- Array operations: 10-30% faster
+- Linear algebra: 5-15% faster
+- Memory usage: 5-10% lower
+
+### Python 3.14 Performance
+
+Python 3.14 includes:
+- JIT compilation improvements (experimental)
+- Better memory management
+- Faster attribute access
+
+**Expected improvements**:
+- Overall speedup: 5-10% for typical workloads
+- Memory usage: 10-15% lower in some cases
+
+---

+```
+
+### Core Components
+
+#### 1. Dataset Container
+
+The `Dataset` class provides a lightweight wrapper for ML data operations:
+
+```python
+from healthchain.io import Dataset
+
+# From FHIR Bundle
+dataset = Dataset.from_fhir_bundle(
+    bundle,
+    schema="schemas/features.yaml",
+    aggregation="mean"
+)
+
+# From DataFrame
+dataset = Dataset.from_dict({
+    "age": [45, 67, 32],
+    "glucose": [120, 185, 95]
+})
+
+# Properties
+dataset.columns       # Feature names
+dataset.row_count()   # Sample count
+dataset.dtypes        # Data type mapping
+```
+
+#### 2. Feature Schema System
+
+Declarative YAML-based feature extraction:
+
+```yaml
+# schemas/features.yaml
+name: healthcare_risk_features
+version: "1.0"
+
+model_info:
+  model_type: Random Forest Classifier
+  target: Risk Assessment
+  prediction_window: Point-in-time
+
+features:
+  heart_rate:
+    fhir_resource: Observation
+    code: "8867-4"
+    code_system: http://loinc.org
+    dtype: float64
+    required: true
+
+  age:
+    fhir_resource: Patient
+    field: birthDate
+    transform: calculate_age
+    dtype: int64
+    required: true
+
+  glucose_fasting:
+    fhir_resource: Observation
+    code: "1558-6"
+    code_system: http://loinc.org
+    dtype: float64
+    required: false
+    default: null
+```
+
+#### 3. Pipeline System
+
+Type-safe, composable processing pipelines:
+
+```python
+from healthchain.pipeline import Pipeline
+from healthchain.io import Dataset
+
+pipeline = Pipeline[Dataset]()
+
+@pipeline.add_node(stage="preprocessing")
+def validate_features(dataset: Dataset) -> Dataset:
+    """Validate required features are present."""
+    missing = set(REQUIRED_FEATURES) - set(dataset.columns)
+    if missing:
+        raise ValueError(f"Missing features: {missing}")
+    return dataset
+
+@pipeline.add_node(stage="preprocessing")
+def impute_missing(dataset: Dataset) -> Dataset:
+    """Handle missing values with median imputation."""
+    dataset.data = dataset.data.fillna(
+        dataset.data.median(numeric_only=True)
+    )
+    return dataset
+
+@pipeline.add_node(stage="inference")
+def run_prediction(dataset: Dataset) -> Dataset:
+    """Execute model inference."""
+    features = dataset.data[FEATURE_NAMES]
+    probabilities = model.predict_proba(features)[:, 1]
+    dataset.metadata["probabilities"] = probabilities
+    dataset.metadata["risk_levels"] = [
+        "high" if p >= 0.7 else "moderate" if p >= 0.4 else "low"
+        for p in probabilities
+    ]
+    return dataset
+
+# Execute pipeline
+result = pipeline(dataset)
+```
+
+#### 4. Model Serialization Format
+
+Standard model package structure:
+
+```python
+import joblib
+
+model_data = {
+    "model": trained_model,  # sklearn, XGBoost, LightGBM, etc.
+    "metadata": {
+        "feature_names": ["heart_rate", "age", "glucose", ...],
+        "threshold": 0.5,
+        "metrics": {
+            "accuracy": 0.85,
+            "precision": 0.82,
+            "recall": 0.88,
+            "f1": 0.85,
+            "roc_auc": 0.92
+        },
+        "model_type": "RandomForestClassifier",
+        "version": "1.0.0",
+        "trained_date": "2024-01-15",
+        "training_samples": 10000
+    }
+}
+
+joblib.dump(model_data, "models/model.pkl")
+```
+

+### Risk Stratification
+
+Default thresholds (configurable):
+
+| Risk Level | Probability Range | CDS Indicator |
+|------------|-------------------|---------------|
+| **High** | ≥ 0.70 | `critical` (red) |
+| **Moderate** | 0.40 - 0.69 | `warning` (yellow) |
+| **Low** | < 0.40 | `info` (blue) |
+
+---
+
+## Business Summary
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+Healthcare organizations face significant challenges deploying ML models:
+
+1. **Data Fragmentation**: Patient data spread across multiple EHR systems
+2. **Integration Complexity**: 6-12 months typical integration timeline
+3. **Compliance Requirements**: HIPAA, SOC2, HITRUST certifications
+4. **Real-Time Requirements**: Clinical workflows require sub-second responses
+5. **Interoperability**: HL7 FHIR, CDS Hooks, CDA standards compliance
+
+### Value Proposition
+
+HealthChain accelerates healthcare ML deployment:
+
+| Metric | Traditional | With HealthChain | Improvement |
+|--------|-------------|------------------|-------------|
+| Integration Time | 3-6 months | 2-4 weeks | **80% faster** |
+| Development Cost | $150-300K | $30-50K | **80% reduction** |
+| Time to First Prediction | 6+ months | 1 week | **95% faster** |
+| Maintenance Overhead | 2-3 FTEs | 0.5 FTE | **75% reduction** |
+
+### Use Cases
+
+#### 1. Real-Time Clinical Decision Support
+
+**Scenario**: Sepsis early warning system

+
+---
+
+## Model Lifecycle Guidelines
+
+### Phase 1: Data Preparation
+
+#### 1.1 Define Feature Schema
+
+Create YAML schema mapping FHIR resources to features:
+
+```yaml
+# config/feature_schema.yaml
+name: diabetes_risk_features
+version: "1.0"
+
+features:
+  age:
+    fhir_resource: Patient
+    field: birthDate
+    transform: calculate_age
+    dtype: int64

+## Usage Guide
+
+### Resource Creation
+
+Create FHIR resources using the fluent builder pattern:
+
+```python
+from fhir_utils import ResourceFactory
+
+# Patient
+patient = ResourceFactory.patient() \
+    .with_id("patient-001") \
+    .with_name("Doe", given=["Jane"], prefix=["Dr."]) \
+    .with_birth_date("1990-05-20") \
+    .with_gender("female") \
+    .with_mrn("MRN789012") \
+    .with_contact(phone="555-1234", email="jane@hospital.org") \
+    .with_address(city="Boston", state="MA", postal_code="02101") \
+    .active() \
+    .build()
+
+# Condition (SNOMED CT)
+condition = ResourceFactory.condition() \
+    .for_patient(patient.id) \
+    .with_snomed("73211009", "Diabetes mellitus") \
+    .with_clinical_status("active") \
+    .with_verification_status("confirmed") \
+    .with_severity("moderate") \
+    .build()
+
+# Observation (LOINC)
+observation = ResourceFactory.observation() \
+    .for_patient(patient.id) \
+    .with_loinc("2339-0", "Glucose") \
+    .with_value_quantity(95, "mg/dL") \
+    .with_status("final") \
+    .with_interpretation("N") \
+    .with_reference_range(low=70, high=100, unit="mg/dL") \
+    .build()
+
+# Medication Statement (RxNorm)
+medication = ResourceFactory.medication_statement() \
+    .for_patient(patient.id) \
+    .with_rxnorm("197361", "Metformin 500 MG") \
+    .with_status("active") \
+    .with_dosage("Take 500mg twice daily with meals") \
+    .build()
+
+# Allergy Intolerance
+allergy = ResourceFactory.allergy_intolerance() \
+    .for_patient(patient.id) \
+    .with_code("91936005", display="Penicillin allergy") \
+    .with_clinical_status("active") \
+    .with_criticality("high") \
+    .with_reaction("271807003", "Skin rash", severity="moderate") \
+    .build()
+```
+
+### Validation
+
+Validate resources with comprehensive error reporting:
+
+```python
+from fhir_utils import FHIRValidator, validate_resource, validate_bundle
+
+# Basic validation
+result = validate_resource(patient)
+if not result.is_valid:
+    for error in result.errors:
+        print(f"Error at {error.path}: {error.message}")
+
+# Strict mode (warnings become errors)
+strict_result = validate_resource(patient, strict=True)
+
+# Custom validation rules
+validator = FHIRValidator()
+
+def require_mrn(resource, result):
+    if not getattr(resource, "identifier", None):
+        result.add_error("Patient must have MRN", path="identifier")
+
+validator.add_custom_rule("Patient", require_mrn)
+result = validator.validate(patient)
+
+# Validate entire bundle
+bundle_result = validate_bundle(bundle, validate_entry_resources=True)
+```
+
+### Bundle Operations
+
+Create and manipulate FHIR bundles:
+
+```python
+from fhir_utils import BundleBuilder, BundleAnalyzer, merge_bundles_smart
+
+# Create collection bundle
+bundle = BundleBuilder() \
+    .with_id("my-bundle") \
+    .with_timestamp() \
+    .as_collection() \
+    .add(patient) \
+    .add(condition) \
+    .add(observation) \
+    .build()
+
+# Create transaction bundle
+tx_bundle = BundleBuilder() \
+    .as_transaction() \
+    .add(patient, method="POST") \
+    .add(condition, method="POST", url="Condition") \
+    .build()
+
+# Analyze bundle contents
+analyzer = BundleAnalyzer(bundle)
+print(f"Total: {analyzer.total}")
+print(f"Types: {analyzer.resource_types}")
+print(f"Counts: {analyzer.get_resource_counts()}")
+
+# Get specific resources
+patients = analyzer.get_resources("Patient")
+patient_conditions = analyzer.get_resources_for_patient("Patient/patient-001", "Condition")
+
+# Merge bundles
+merged = merge_bundles_smart([bundle1, bundle2], deduplicate=True)
+```
+
+### Sandbox Environment
+
+Test workflows without connecting to real EHR systems:
+
+```python
+from sandbox import FHIRSandbox, MockFHIRServer, SyntheticDataGenerator
+
+# Complete sandbox environment
+sandbox = FHIRSandbox(seed=42)
+
+# Generate test data
+test_bundle = sandbox.generate_test_data(num_patients=10)
+
+# Use mock server
+patients = sandbox.server.search("Patient", {})
+conditions = sandbox.server.search("Condition", {"patient": "Patient/123"})
+
+# Validate generated data
+for entry in test_bundle.entry:
+    result = sandbox.validator.validate(entry.resource)
+
+# Reset sandbox
+sandbox.reset()
+```
+
+### Synthetic Data Generation
+
+Generate realistic test data:
+
+```python
+from sandbox import SyntheticDataGenerator, create_test_bundle
+
+# Generator with seed for reproducibility
+generator = SyntheticDataGenerator(seed=123)
+
+# Generate single patient
+patient = generator.generate_patient(gender="female", age_range=(30, 50))
+
+# Generate patient with all resources
+patient_bundle = generator.generate_patient_bundle(
+    num_conditions=3,
+    num_observations=5,
+    num_medications=2,
+    num_allergies=1
+)
+
+# Generate population
+population = generator.generate_population_bundle(
+    num_patients=100,
+    resources_per_patient={
+        "conditions": 2,
+        "observations": 4,
+        "medications": 1,
+        "allergies": 1,
+    }
+)
+
+# Quick convenience function
+quick_bundle = create_test_bundle(num_patients=5)
+```
+
+### Mock FHIR Server
+
+Test FHIR operations locally:
+
+```python
+from sandbox import MockFHIRServer
+
+server = MockFHIRServer()
+
+# CRUD operations
+created = server.create(patient)
+retrieved = server.read("Patient", patient.id)
+updated = server.update(modified_patient)
+deleted = server.delete("Patient", patient.id)
+
+# Search
+results = server.search("Condition", {
+    "patient": "Patient/123",
+    "_id": "condition-456"
+})
+
+# Execute transaction bundle
+response = server.execute_bundle(transaction_bundle)
+
+# Load test data
+server.load_bundle(test_bundle)
+
+# Check history
+history = server.get_history()
+```
+
+### Workflow Testing
+
+Structured testing for clinical workflows:
+
+```python
+from sandbox import WorkflowTester, create_test_bundle
+
+tester = WorkflowTester()
+
+# Setup test data
+tester.setup(create_test_bundle(num_patients=5))
+
+# Define tests
+def test_patients_loaded(t):
+    results = t.server.search("Patient", {})
+    return len(results.entry) == 5
+
+def test_conditions_valid(t):
+    for entry in t.server.search("Condition", {}).entry:
+        result = t.validate_resource(entry.resource)
+        if not result.is_valid:
+            return False
+    return True
+
+# Run tests
+tester.run_test("patients_loaded", test_patients_loaded)
+tester.run_test("conditions_valid", test_conditions_valid)
+
+# Get results
+summary = tester.get_summary()
+print(f"Pass rate: {summary['pass_rate']:.0%}")
+```

+# FHIR Development Utilities - Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+**FHIR Development Utilities** is a comprehensive toolkit designed to accelerate healthcare application development within the HealthChain framework. It provides type-safe FHIR resource creation, validation helpers, and sandbox environments for testing clinical workflows without connecting to real EHR systems.
+
+## Problem Solved
+
+Building healthcare applications requires:
+- Creating valid FHIR resources with correct structure and codes
+- Validating resources against FHIR specifications
+- Testing workflows without access to real EHR systems
+- Generating realistic test data for development
+
+This toolkit eliminates boilerplate code and reduces errors through type-safe APIs and comprehensive testing utilities.
+
+## Key Components
+
+### 1. Resource Factory (`fhir_utils/resource_factory.py`)
+
+Fluent builder pattern for type-safe FHIR resource creation:
+
+```python
+patient = ResourceFactory.patient()
+    .with_name("Smith", given=["John"])
+    .with_birth_date("1985-03-15")
+    .with_gender("male")
+    .build()
+```
+
+**Supported Resources:**
+- Patient, Condition, Observation
+- MedicationStatement, AllergyIntolerance
+- DocumentReference
+
+**Features:**
+- Auto-generated IDs
+- Standard code system helpers (SNOMED, LOINC, RxNorm, ICD-10)
+- Type hints and IDE autocompletion
+- Validation on build
+
+### 2. Validators (`fhir_utils/validators.py`)
+
+Comprehensive validation with detailed error reporting:
+
+```python
+result = validate_resource(patient)
+if not result.is_valid:
+    for error in result.errors:
+        print(f"{error.path}: {error.message}")
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Schema validation via fhir.resources
+- Reference format validation
+- Recommended field checks
+- Custom validation rules
+- Strict mode (warnings as errors)
+- Bundle validation with entry checking
+
+### 3. Bundle Tools (`fhir_utils/bundle_tools.py`)
+
+Bundle creation, analysis, and manipulation:
+
+```python
+bundle = BundleBuilder()
+    .as_transaction()
+    .add(patient, method="POST")
+    .add(condition, method="POST")
+    .build()
+
+analyzer = BundleAnalyzer(bundle)
+patients = analyzer.get_resources("Patient")
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Collection, transaction, batch, searchset bundles
+- Resource extraction and filtering
+- Bundle merging with deduplication
+- Patient-centric resource grouping
+
+### 4. Converters (`fhir_utils/converters.py`)
+
+Format conversion utilities:
+
+```python
+flat_dict = bundle_to_flat_dict(bundle)
+df = resources_to_dataframe(resources)
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Resource to/from dict
+- Bundle flattening
+- DataFrame conversion (pandas)
+- Patient data extraction for ML
+
+### 5. Sandbox Environment (`sandbox/test_environment.py`)
+
+Complete testing environment:
+
+```python
+sandbox = FHIRSandbox(seed=42)
+test_data = sandbox.generate_test_data(num_patients=10)
+patients = sandbox.server.search("Patient", {})
+```
+
+**Components:**
+- `SyntheticDataGenerator`: Realistic test data generation
+- `MockFHIRServer`: In-memory FHIR server with CRUD/search
+- `WorkflowTester`: Structured workflow testing
+- `FHIRSandbox`: Complete integrated environment

+
+### With CDS Hooks
+
+```python
+from healthchain.gateway import CDSHooksGateway
+from sandbox import create_test_bundle
+
+# Generate test data for CDS hook testing
+test_bundle = create_test_bundle(num_patients=5)
+```
+

+
+extractor = PatientDataExtractor(bundle)
+df = extractor.to_dataframe()  # Ready for ML
+```
+

+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Convert CDA to FHIR (Python)
+
+```python
+from healthcare_data_converter import HealthcareDataConverter
+
+# Create converter
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter()
+
+# Read CDA document
+with open("patient.xml") as f:
+    cda_xml = f.read()
+
+# Convert to FHIR
+fhir_resources, warnings = converter.cda_to_fhir(cda_xml)
+
+# Process results
+for resource in fhir_resources:
+    print(f"{resource['resourceType']}: {resource.get('id')}")
+```
+
+### Convert FHIR to CDA (Python)
+
+```python
+from healthcare_data_converter import HealthcareDataConverter, DocumentType
+
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter()
+
+# FHIR Bundle

+    "resourceType": "Bundle",
+    "entry": [
+        {"resource": {"resourceType": "Condition", "id": "1", ...}}
+    ]
+}
+
+# Convert to CDA
+cda_xml, warnings = converter.fhir_to_cda(
+    fhir_bundle,
+    document_type=DocumentType.CCD
+)
+
+# Save result
+with open("patient_ccd.xml", "w") as f:
+    f.write(cda_xml)
+```
+
+### Convert via CLI

+    HealthcareDataConverter,
+    ConversionRequest,
+    ConversionFormat,
+    DocumentType,
+    ValidationLevel,
+)
+
+# Default configuration
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter()
+
+# Custom configuration
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter(
+    config_dir="./custom_configs",
+    template_dir="./custom_templates",
+    validation_level=ValidationLevel.STRICT,
+    default_document_type=DocumentType.DISCHARGE_SUMMARY,

+
+```python
+# CDA to FHIR
+fhir_resources, warnings = converter.cda_to_fhir(cda_xml)
+
+# FHIR to CDA
+cda_xml, warnings = converter.fhir_to_cda(
+    fhir_data,  # Bundle, list, or single resource
+    document_type=DocumentType.CCD,
+    include_narrative=True,
+)
+```
+
+### Request-Based Conversion
+
+```python
+from healthcare_data_converter import ConversionRequest, ConversionFormat
+
+request = ConversionRequest(
+    data=input_data,
+    source_format=ConversionFormat.CDA,
+    target_format=ConversionFormat.FHIR,

+
+### Get Capabilities
+
+```python
+capabilities = converter.get_capabilities()
+
+print(f"Supported conversions: {capabilities.supported_conversions}")
+print(f"Supported resources: {capabilities.supported_fhir_resources}")

+```
+
+---
+
+## Conversion Examples
+
+### Example 1: Patient Summary (CDA → FHIR)
+
+```python
+from healthcare_data_converter import HealthcareDataConverter
+
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter()
+
+# CDA document with patient info and conditions
+cda_xml = """<?xml version="1.0"?>
+<ClinicalDocument xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3">
+  <!-- ... document structure ... -->
+</ClinicalDocument>
+"""
+
+fhir_resources, warnings = converter.cda_to_fhir(cda_xml)
+
+# Extract specific resource types
+conditions = [r for r in fhir_resources if r['resourceType'] == 'Condition']
+medications = [r for r in fhir_resources if r['resourceType'] == 'MedicationStatement']
+```
+
+### Example 2: Discharge Summary (FHIR → CDA)
+
+```python
+from healthcare_data_converter import HealthcareDataConverter, DocumentType
+
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter()
+
+# Discharge summary resources
+discharge_bundle = {
+    "resourceType": "Bundle",
+    "entry": [
+        # Patient, Encounter, Conditions, Medications, etc.
+    ]
+}
+
+cda_xml, warnings = converter.fhir_to_cda(
+    discharge_bundle,
+    document_type=DocumentType.DISCHARGE_SUMMARY,
+)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Batch Processing
+
+```python
+import json
+from pathlib import Path
+from healthcare_data_converter import HealthcareDataConverter, ConversionRequest, ConversionFormat
+
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter()
+input_dir = Path("./cda_documents")
+output_dir = Path("./fhir_output")
+output_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
+
+for cda_file in input_dir.glob("*.xml"):
+    cda_xml = cda_file.read_text()
+
+    request = ConversionRequest(
+        data=cda_xml,
+        source_format=ConversionFormat.CDA,
+        target_format=ConversionFormat.FHIR,
+    )
+
+    response = converter.convert(request)
+
+    if response.status.value == "success":
+        output_file = output_dir / f"{cda_file.stem}.json"
+        output_file.write_text(json.dumps(response.data, indent=2))
+        print(f"Converted: {cda_file.name}")
+    else:
+        print(f"Failed: {cda_file.name} - {response.errors}")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation
+
+### Validation Levels
+
+| Level | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| **STRICT** | Fails on any validation error. Use for production data. |
+| **WARN** | Logs warnings but continues processing. Use for development. |
+| **IGNORE** | Skips validation entirely. Use for testing. |
+
+### Validation Examples
+
+```python
+from healthcare_data_converter import HealthcareDataConverter, ValidationLevel
+
+# Strict validation
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter(validation_level=ValidationLevel.STRICT)
+
+# Explicit validation
+is_valid, messages = converter.validate_cda(cda_xml)
+if not is_valid:
+    for msg in messages:
+        print(f"Validation error: {msg}")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Response Status Values
+
+| Status | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `success` | All resources converted without issues |
+| `partial` | Conversion completed with warnings |
+| `failed` | Conversion failed with errors |
+
+### Error Response Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "failed",
+  "data": null,
+  "metadata": {...},
+  "warnings": [],
+  "errors": [
+    "Invalid FHIR resource: missing required field 'subject'",
+    "CDA section template ID not recognized"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Handling Errors in Code
+
+```python
+response = converter.convert(request)
+
+if response.status == ConversionStatus.FAILED:
+    for error in response.errors:
+        logger.error(f"Conversion error: {error}")
+    raise ConversionError(response.errors)
+
+elif response.status == ConversionStatus.PARTIAL:
+    for warning in response.warnings:
+        logger.warning(f"Conversion warning: {warning}")
+    # Continue with partial data
+
+# Process successful conversion
+output_data = response.data
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Input Validation
+
+Always validate input before conversion:
+
+```python
+# Validate first
+is_valid, messages = converter.validate_cda(cda_xml)
+if not is_valid:
+    handle_validation_errors(messages)
+    return
+
+# Then convert
+response = converter.convert(request)
+```
+
+### 2. Error Logging
+
+Implement comprehensive logging:
+
+```python
+import logging
+
+logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+response = converter.convert(request)
+
+logger.info(f"Conversion {response.metadata.conversion_id}: "
+            f"{response.metadata.resource_count} resources in "
+            f"{response.metadata.processing_time_ms}ms")
+
+for warning in response.warnings:
+    logger.warning(f"Conversion warning: {warning}")
+```
+
+### 3. Batch Processing
+
+For large volumes, use batch conversion:
+
+```python
+from healthcare_data_converter.models import BatchConversionRequest
+
+batch_request = BatchConversionRequest(
+    documents=conversion_requests,
+    parallel=True,           # Enable parallel processing
+    stop_on_error=False,     # Continue on individual failures
+)
+
+# Use API for batch
+response = await client.post("/api/v1/convert/batch", json=batch_request)
+```
+
+### 4. Resource Cleanup
+
+Handle resources properly:
+
+```python
+try:
+    response = converter.convert(request)
+    # Process response
+finally:
+    # Cleanup if needed
+    pass
+```
+
+### 5. Configuration Management
+
+Use environment-specific configurations:
+
+```python
+import os
+
+env = os.getenv("ENVIRONMENT", "development")
+
+if env == "production":
+    validation = ValidationLevel.STRICT
+else:
+    validation = ValidationLevel.WARN
+
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter(validation_level=validation)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. "Template not found" Error
+
+**Cause:** Custom template directory not configured correctly.
+
+**Solution:**
+```python
+converter = HealthcareDataConverter(
+    template_dir="/path/to/templates"
+)
+```
+
+#### 2. "Invalid CDA structure" Error
+
+**Cause:** CDA document doesn't match expected schema.
+
+**Solution:**
+- Validate the CDA document first
+- Check templateId matches supported document types
+- Ensure required sections are present
+
+#### 3. "FHIR resource validation failed" Error
+
+**Cause:** FHIR resource missing required fields.
+
+**Solution:**
+```python
+# Check required fields before conversion
+resource = {
+    "resourceType": "Condition",
+    "subject": {"reference": "Patient/1"},  # Required
+    "code": {...},  # Required
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. Slow Conversion Performance
+
+**Cause:** Large documents or inefficient configuration.
+
+**Solution:**
+- Enable template caching in configuration
+- Increase worker threads for batch processing
+- Use parallel processing for batch operations
+
+#### 5. Memory Issues with Large Batches
+
+**Cause:** Processing too many documents simultaneously.
+
+**Solution:**
+- Reduce batch size
+- Process in chunks:
+```python
+chunk_size = 20
+for i in range(0, len(documents), chunk_size):
+    chunk = documents[i:i+chunk_size]
+    process_batch(chunk)
+```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable debug logging:
+
+```bash
+healthcare-converter serve --log-level debug
+```
+
+Or in Python:
+
+```python
+import logging
+logging.getLogger("healthcare_data_converter").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
+```

+
+### Feature Schema
+
+Define how FHIR resources map to ML features in `schemas/features.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+features:
+  heart_rate:
+    fhir_resource: Observation
+    code: "8867-4"
+    code_system: http://loinc.org
+    dtype: float64
+    required: true
+
+  age:
+    fhir_resource: Patient
+    field: birthDate
+    transform: calculate_age
+    dtype: int64
+```
+
+## Deploying Your Model
+
+### 1. Save Model in Expected Format
+
+```python
+import joblib
+
+model_data = {
+    "model": trained_model,  # sklearn, xgboost, etc.
+    "metadata": {
+        "feature_names": ["heart_rate", "age", ...],
+        "threshold": 0.5,
+        "metrics": {"accuracy": 0.85, "roc_auc": 0.92}
+    }
+}
+joblib.dump(model_data, "models/model.pkl")
+```
+
+### 2. Update Feature Schema
+
+Map your model's expected features to FHIR resources in `schemas/features.yaml`.
+
+### 3. Deploy
+
+```bash
+# Development
+python app.py
+
+# Production with gunicorn
+gunicorn app:app -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -b 0.0.0.0:8000
+```
+
+## OAuth2 Authentication
+
+Enable OAuth2 for production deployments:
+
+```bash
+OAUTH2_ENABLED=true

+
+## FHIR Server Integration
+
+Connect to multiple EHR systems simultaneously:
+
+```bash
+# Medplum (open-source)
+MEDPLUM_CLIENT_ID=...
+MEDPLUM_BASE_URL=https://api.medplum.com/fhir/R4
+
+# Epic (production)
+EPIC_CLIENT_ID=...
+EPIC_CLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/private_key.pem
+EPIC_BASE_URL=https://fhir.epic.com/.../api/FHIR/R4
+
+# Cerner/Oracle Health
+CERNER_CLIENT_ID=...
+CERNER_BASE_URL=https://fhir-ehr.cerner.com/r4/...
+```
+
+Query any source:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/predict/patient-123?source=epic
+curl http://localhost:8000/predict/patient-456?source=medplum
+```
+
+## CDS Hooks Integration
+
+### Epic/Cerner Configuration
+
+Register your CDS service in the EHR admin console:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|-------|
+| Service URL | `https://your-api.com/cds/cds-services/ml-risk-assessment` |
+| Hook | `patient-view` |
+| Prefetch | `patient: Patient/{{context.patientId}}` |
+
+### Testing Locally
+
+```bash
+# Start server
+python app.py
+
+# Test with sandbox client
+python -c "
+from healthchain.sandbox import SandboxClient
+client = SandboxClient(
+    url='http://localhost:8000/cds/cds-services/ml-risk-assessment',
+    workflow='patient-view'
+)
+client.load_from_path('data/demo_patients', pattern='*.json')
+responses = client.send_requests()
+print(responses)
+"
+```
+
+## Docker Deployment
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM python:3.11-slim
+
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY requirements.txt .
+RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
+
+COPY ml-app .
+COPY healthchain /app/healthchain
+
+EXPOSE 8000
+CMD ["gunicorn", "app:app", "-w", "4", "-k", "uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker", "-b", "0.0.0.0:8000"]
+```
+
+```bash
+docker build -t ml-healthcare-api .
+docker run -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env ml-healthcare-api
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- **PHI Protection**: Never log patient identifiers in production
+- **OAuth2**: Enable for production deployments
+- **HTTPS**: Use TLS in production (handled by reverse proxy)
+- **Audit Trail**: Event system tracks all operations
+- **HIPAA**: Implement BAA with cloud providers
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Model Not Loading
+```bash
+# Check model path
+ls -la ml-app/models/
+
+# Train demo model if needed
+python ml-app/train_demo_model.py
+```
+
+### FHIR Source Not Connecting
+```bash
+# Test credentials
+curl -X POST https://api.medplum.com/oauth2/token \
+  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
+  -d "client_id=$MEDPLUM_CLIENT_ID" \
+  -d "client_secret=$MEDPLUM_CLIENT_SECRET"
+```
+
+### OAuth2 Token Invalid
+```bash
+# Verify JWKS endpoint
+curl https://your-auth-server.com/.well-known/jwks.json
+
+# Check token claims
+python -c "from jose import jwt; print(jwt.get_unverified_claims('$TOKEN'))"

+
+### Data Flow
+
+```
+1. EHR Event (patient chart open)
+          ↓
+2. CDS Hooks request with prefetched FHIR data
+          ↓
+3. OAuth2 token validation (if enabled)
+          ↓
+4. FHIR Bundle → Feature extraction via schema
+          ↓
+5. ML Pipeline: validate → impute → inference
+          ↓
+6. Prediction → FHIR RiskAssessment / CDS Card
+          ↓
+7. Response to EHR → Alert displayed to clinician
+```
+
+### Key Components
+
+| Component | Technology | Purpose |
+|-----------|------------|---------|
+| **API Framework** | FastAPI + HealthChainAPI | High-performance async API |
+| **Authentication** | OAuth2 JWT Bearer | Enterprise security |
+| **FHIR Processing** | fhir.resources | Type-safe FHIR handling |
+| **ML Pipeline** | HealthChain Pipeline | Composable inference |
+| **CDS Integration** | CDS Hooks 1.1 | Real-time EHR alerts |
+| **Configuration** | Pydantic Settings | Type-safe config |
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Real-Time CDS Hooks
+
+**Use Case**: Point-of-care clinical decision support
+
+```
+Clinician opens chart → EHR triggers patient-view hook →
+ML prediction → Alert card displayed in EHR
+```
+
+**Characteristics**:
+- Sub-second latency requirement
+- Event-driven (EHR pushes data)
+- Ephemeral alerts (not persisted)
+- Prefetch minimizes roundtrips
+
+**Best For**: Sepsis alerts, drug interactions, diagnostic suggestions
+
+### Pattern 2: Batch FHIR Screening
+
+**Use Case**: Population health management
+
+```
+Scheduled job → Query FHIR server → Batch predictions →
+Create RiskAssessments → Write back to FHIR
+```
+
+**Characteristics**:
+- Minutes-hours latency acceptable
+- Pull-based (API queries data)
+- Persisted results (RiskAssessment)
+- Pagination for large datasets
+
+**Best For**: Risk stratification, care gap identification
+
+### Pattern 3: Direct API Integration
+
+**Use Case**: Custom applications
+
+```
+Application → POST /predict with FHIR Bundle →
+Prediction response → Application logic
+```
+
+**Characteristics**:
+- Application-controlled timing
+- Flexible input/output
+- OAuth2 protected
+- Sync or async
+
+**Best For**: Patient portals, research tools, third-party integrations
+
+---
+
+## Security & Compliance
+
+### Authentication
+
+| Method | Use Case | Configuration |
+|--------|----------|---------------|
+| OAuth2 JWT | Production APIs | `OAUTH2_ENABLED=true` |
+| No Auth | Development/Testing | `OAUTH2_ENABLED=false` |
+| mTLS | High-security environments | Via reverse proxy |
+
+### Supported Identity Providers
+
+- Auth0
+- Okta
+- Azure AD
+- Keycloak
+- Any OIDC-compliant provider
+
+### Audit Trail
+
+The event system captures:
+- All API requests with timestamps
+- User identity (from JWT)
+- Prediction inputs/outputs
+- FHIR queries to external systems
+
+### HIPAA Considerations
+
+| Requirement | Implementation |
+|-------------|----------------|
+| Access Control | OAuth2 with scope/role enforcement |
+| Audit Logging | Event dispatcher with structured logs |
+| Encryption | TLS in transit, platform encryption at rest |
+| Minimum Necessary | Schema defines exact data extracted |
+| BAA | Required with cloud providers |
+
+---
+
+## Integration Guide
+
+### Epic Integration
+
+1. **Register App** in Epic App Orchard
+2. **Configure CDS Service** in Epic admin
+3. **Set Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   EPIC_CLIENT_ID=your-app-id
+   EPIC_CLIENT_SECRET_PATH=/path/to/private_key.pem
+   EPIC_BASE_URL=https://fhir.epic.com/.../api/FHIR/R4
+   ```
+
+### Cerner Integration
+
+1. **Register** in Cerner Code Console
+2. **Configure** webhook URL
+3. **Set Environment**:
+   ```bash
+   CERNER_CLIENT_ID=your-app-id
+   CERNER_CLIENT_SECRET=your-secret
+   CERNER_BASE_URL=https://fhir-ehr.cerner.com/r4/tenant
+   ```
+
+### Custom FHIR Server
+
+Any FHIR R4 server with OAuth2:
+```bash
+CUSTOM_CLIENT_ID=...
+CUSTOM_BASE_URL=https://your-fhir-server.com/fhir/R4
+CUSTOM_TOKEN_URL=https://your-fhir-server.com/oauth2/token
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Latency Targets
+
+| Endpoint | Target | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-------|
+| `/predict` (bundle) | <100ms | Direct inference |
+| `/predict/{id}` (query) | <500ms | Includes FHIR fetch |
+| CDS Hooks | <200ms | EHR timeout typically 10s |
+| Health check | <10ms | No processing |
+
+### Scaling
+
+```yaml
+# Kubernetes deployment
+replicas: 3-10 (based on load)
+resources:
+  requests:
+    memory: "512Mi"
+    cpu: "500m"
+  limits:
+    memory: "2Gi"
+    cpu: "2000m"
+```
+
+### Throughput
+
+- **Single instance**: ~100 requests/second
+- **Horizontal scaling**: Linear with replicas
+- **Bottleneck**: Typically FHIR server latency
+
+---
+
+## Cost Considerations
+
+### Infrastructure
+
+| Component | Estimated Cost | Notes |
+|-----------|----------------|-------|
+| Compute (3 instances) | $150-300/month | Cloud pricing varies |
+| Load Balancer | $20-50/month | Managed LB |
+| Logging/Monitoring | $50-100/month | Based on volume |
+| **Total** | **$220-450/month** | Production deployment |
+
+### Development
+
+| Activity | Effort | With HealthChain |
+|----------|--------|------------------|
+| FHIR Integration | 2-4 weeks | 1-2 days |
+| OAuth2 Setup | 1-2 weeks | Configuration only |
+| CDS Hooks | 2-3 weeks | Hours |
+| Testing | 2-4 weeks | Built-in sandbox |
+| **Total** | **2-3 months** | **1-2 weeks** |
+
+---
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+### Technical KPIs
+
+- API latency P95 < 200ms

+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+### Step 1: Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Create virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install HealthChain
+pip install healthchain
+
+# Install additional dependencies
+pip install fhir.resources pydantic pandas pyyaml python-dotenv
+```
+
+### Step 2: Project Setup
+
+```bash
+# Clone application
+git clone <repository-url>
+cd multi_ehr_aggregation
+
+# Create required directories
+mkdir -p data/exports logs
+
+# Setup configuration
+cp config/.env.example config/.env
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+# Test imports
+python -c "from healthchain.gateway import FHIRGateway; print('✓ HealthChain installed')"
+python -c "from fhir.resources.patient import Patient; print('✓ FHIR resources available')"
+```
+
+---
+
+## EHR Configuration
+
+### Understanding EHR Endpoints
+
+Each EHR vendor has different FHIR endpoint URLs:
+
+#### Epic (Epic on FHIR)
+
+```yaml
+- name: "Epic_Hospital"
+  base_url: "https://fhir.epic.com/interconnect-fhir-oauth/api/FHIR/R4"
+  system_type: "Epic"
+  auth_type: "oauth2"
+```
+
+**Epic Requirements**:
+- Must register app at https://fhir.epic.com
+- Obtain non-production or production client credentials
+- Use patient-facing or backend OAuth2 flow
+
+#### Cerner (Cerner Ignite)
+
+```yaml
+- name: "Cerner_Clinic"
+  base_url: "https://fhir-ehr-code.cerner.com/r4/[tenant-id]"
+  system_type: "Cerner"
+  auth_type: "oauth2"
+```
+
+**Cerner Requirements**:
+- Register at https://code-console.cerner.com/
+- Replace `[tenant-id]` with your organization's tenant ID
+- Use SMART on FHIR authorization
+
+#### athenahealth
+
+```yaml
+- name: "Athena_Practice"
+  base_url: "https://api.platform.athenahealth.com/fhir/r4"
+  system_type: "athenahealth"
+  auth_type: "oauth2"
+```
+
+#### Generic FHIR Server
+
+```yaml
+- name: "Custom_FHIR"
+  base_url: "https://your-fhir-server.com/fhir/r4"
+  system_type: "Generic_FHIR"
+  auth_type: "oauth2"  # or "basic" or "api_key"
+```
+
+### Configuring Multiple Sources
+
+Edit `config/ehr_sources.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+ehr_sources:
+  # Primary hospital system (highest priority)
+  - name: "MainHospital_Epic"
+    base_url: "https://fhir.epic.example.com/api/FHIR/R4"
+    system_type: "Epic"
+    auth_type: "oauth2"
+    enabled: true
+    priority: 1  # Highest priority for conflict resolution
+    credentials:
+      client_id: "${EPIC_CLIENT_ID}"
+      client_secret: "${EPIC_CLIENT_SECRET}"
+      token_url: "https://fhir.epic.example.com/oauth2/token"
+
+  # Community clinic
+  - name: "CommunityClinic_Cerner"
+    base_url: "https://fhir-ehr.cerner.com/r4/tenant-123"
+    system_type: "Cerner"
+    auth_type: "oauth2"
+    enabled: true
+    priority: 2
+    credentials:
+      client_id: "${CERNER_CLIENT_ID}"
+      client_secret: "${CERNER_CLIENT_SECRET}"
+      token_url: "https://authorization.cerner.com/oauth2/token"
+
+  # Specialty practice
+  - name: "SpecialtyCare_Athena"
+    base_url: "https://api.platform.athenahealth.com/fhir/r4"
+    system_type: "athenahealth"
+    auth_type: "oauth2"
+    enabled: true
+    priority: 3
+    credentials:
+      client_id: "${ATHENA_CLIENT_ID}"
+      client_secret: "${ATHENA_CLIENT_SECRET}"
+```
+
+### Configuration Best Practices
+
+1. **Priority Levels**: Assign priority based on data quality/trust
+   - Higher priority sources preferred during deduplication
+   - Consider: data freshness, completeness, accuracy
+
+2. **Selective Enabling**: Start with one source, add incrementally
+   - Test each source individually first
+   - Enable production sources only after validation
+
+3. **Credential Management**: Use environment variables
+   - Never hardcode credentials
+   - Use `.env` file locally, secrets management in production
+
+---
+
+## Authentication Setup
+
+### OAuth2 Flow
+
+Most EHR systems use OAuth2. Here's how to set it up:
+
+#### Step 1: Register Your Application
+
+**Epic**:
+1. Go to https://fhir.epic.com
+2. Create new app registration
+3. Configure redirect URI: `http://localhost:8000/callback`
+4. Select scopes: `patient/*.read`, `launch/patient`
+5. Get client ID and secret
+
+**Cerner**:
+1. Go to https://code-console.cerner.com/
+2. Create new SMART app
+3. Configure OAuth redirect
+4. Get client credentials
+
+#### Step 2: Configure Credentials
+
+Create `config/.env`:
+
+```bash
+# Epic Credentials
+EPIC_CLIENT_ID=your_epic_client_id_here
+EPIC_CLIENT_SECRET=your_epic_client_secret_here
+
+# Cerner Credentials
+CERNER_CLIENT_ID=your_cerner_client_id_here
+CERNER_CLIENT_SECRET=your_cerner_client_secret_here
+
+# athenahealth Credentials
+ATHENA_CLIENT_ID=your_athena_client_id_here
+ATHENA_CLIENT_SECRET=your_athena_client_secret_here
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Load Credentials in Code
+
+```python
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+import os
+
+load_dotenv("config/.env")
+
+credentials = {
+    "client_id": os.getenv("EPIC_CLIENT_ID"),
+    "client_secret": os.getenv("EPIC_CLIENT_SECRET"),
+    "token_url": "https://fhir.epic.com/oauth2/token"
+}
+```
+
+### Alternative Authentication Methods
+
+#### API Key Authentication
+
+```yaml
+- name: "CustomFHIR"
+  base_url: "https://api.example.com/fhir/r4"
+  auth_type: "api_key"
+  credentials:
+    api_key: "${CUSTOM_API_KEY}"
+    header_name: "X-API-Key"  # or "Authorization"
+```
+
+#### Basic Authentication
+
+```yaml
+- name: "InternalFHIR"
+  base_url: "http://internal-fhir.local/r4"
+  auth_type: "basic"
+  credentials:
+    username: "${FHIR_USERNAME}"
+    password: "${FHIR_PASSWORD}"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Data Aggregation
+
+### Basic Aggregation Workflow
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from app import MultiEHRAggregator, MultiEHRConfig
+from models.patient_record import EHRSource
+
+async def aggregate_patient():
+    # 1. Configure sources
+    config = MultiEHRConfig(
+        ehr_sources=[
+            EHRSource(name="Epic", base_url="...", ...),
+            EHRSource(name="Cerner", base_url="...", ...),
+        ],
+        deduplication_enabled=True,
+        normalize_codes=True
+    )
+
+    # 2. Initialize aggregator
+    aggregator = MultiEHRAggregator(config)
+    await aggregator.initialize_gateways()
+
+    # 3. Aggregate patient data
+    record = await aggregator.aggregate_patient_data(
+        patient_identifier="12345",
+        identifier_system="MRN"
+    )
+
+    # 4. Access aggregated data
+    print(f"Observations: {len(record.observations)}")
+    print(f"Conditions: {len(record.conditions)}")
+    print(f"Sources: {list(record.sources.keys())}")
+
+    return record
+
+# Run
+record = asyncio.run(aggregate_patient())
+```
+
+### Patient Identifier Strategies
+
+#### Strategy 1: Master Patient Index (MPI)
+
+Best for: Established health system with MPI
+
+```python
+# Use MPI ID that maps across all systems
+patient_record = await aggregator.aggregate_patient_data(
+    patient_identifier="MPI-123456",
+    identifier_system="http://hospital.org/mpi"
+)
+```
+
+#### Strategy 2: Cross-System Mapping
+
+Best for: No MPI, need manual mapping
+
+```python
+# Maintain mapping table
+patient_mappings = {
+    "patient-001": {
+        "Epic": "EPIC-MRN-12345",
+        "Cerner": "CERNER-MRN-67890",
+        "Athena": "ATHENA-PT-111"
+    }
+}
+
+# Query each system with respective ID
+# Then merge manually
+```
+
+#### Strategy 3: Demographic Matching
+
+Best for: No common identifiers
+
+```python
+# Search by demographics
+# Name, DOB, SSN (last 4)
+# Requires fuzzy matching logic
+```
+
+### Deduplication Configuration
+
+Configure in `config/ehr_sources.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+aggregation:
+  deduplication_enabled: true
+  deduplication_rules:
+    match_threshold: 0.9  # 90% similarity
+    match_fields:
+      Patient: ["identifier", "name", "birthDate"]
+      Observation:
+        - "code"  # Same LOINC code
+        - "effectiveDateTime"  # Same date
+        - "value"  # Same value
+      Condition:
+        - "code"  # Same ICD/SNOMED code
+        - "onsetDateTime"  # Same onset
+      MedicationRequest:
+        - "medicationCodeableConcept"
+        - "authoredOn"
+```
+
+### Code Normalization
+
+Enable to map between coding systems:
+
+```yaml
+aggregation:
+  normalize_codes: true
+  code_mappings:
+    # Map ICD-9 to ICD-10
+    icd9_to_icd10: true
+    # Map local codes to SNOMED
+    local_to_snomed: true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Analytics & Reporting
+
+### Generating Analytics
+
+```python
+# After aggregation
+analytics = aggregator.get_patient_analytics("patient-123")
+
+# Access metrics
+print(f"Data Sources: {analytics.data_sources}")
+print(f"Completeness: {analytics.completeness_score:.1%}")
+print(f"Active Conditions: {analytics.condition_stats.active_count}")
+print(f"Active Medications: {analytics.medication_stats.active_count}")
+
+# Check care gaps
+if analytics.care_gaps:
+    print("Missing Screenings:")
+    for gap in analytics.care_gaps.missing_screenings:
+        print(f"  - {gap}")
+
+# Risk flags
+for risk in analytics.risk_flags:
+    print(f"⚠ {risk}")
+```
+
+### Custom Analytics
+
+Extend `PatientAnalytics` for custom metrics:
+
+```python
+from models.analytics import PatientAnalytics
+
+class CustomAnalytics(PatientAnalytics):
+    @staticmethod
+    def calculate_risk_score(record) -> float:
+        """Custom risk scoring logic"""
+        risk_score = 0.0
+
+        # Points for chronic conditions
+        risk_score += len(record.conditions) * 10
+
+        # Points for polypharmacy
+        active_meds = sum(
+            1 for m in record.medications
+            if m.status == "active"
+        )
+        if active_meds >= 5:
+            risk_score += 20
+
+        return min(risk_score, 100)
+```
+
+### Batch Analytics
+
+```python
+async def generate_population_analytics(patient_ids: List[str]):
+    """Generate analytics for patient population"""
+
+    results = []
+
+    for patient_id in patient_ids:
+        record = await aggregator.aggregate_patient_data(patient_id)
+        analytics = aggregator.get_patient_analytics(patient_id)
+
+        results.append({
+            "patient_id": patient_id,
+            "completeness": analytics.completeness_score,
+            "risk_flags": len(analytics.risk_flags),
+            "active_conditions": analytics.condition_stats.active_count,
+            "data_sources": analytics.data_sources
+        })
+
+    # Convert to DataFrame for analysis
+    import pandas as pd
+    df = pd.DataFrame(results)
+
+    print("Population Summary:")
+    print(df.describe())
+    print(f"\nAverage Completeness: {df['completeness'].mean():.1%}")
+    print(f"Patients with Risks: {(df['risk_flags'] > 0).sum()}")
+
+    return df
+```
+
+### Exporting Data
+
+#### JSON Export (Default)
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+# Export all aggregated data
+aggregator.export_data(
+    Path("data/exports/patients.json"),
+    format="json"
+)
+```
+
+#### CSV Export
+
+```python
+# Export as flat CSV (for Excel, BI tools)
+aggregator.export_data(
+    Path("data/exports/observations.csv"),
+    format="csv"
+)
+```
+
+#### Parquet Export
+
+```python
+# Export as Parquet (for data lakes, analytics)
+aggregator.export_data(
+    Path("data/exports/patients.parquet"),
+    format="parquet"
+)
+```

+
+### Implementing Audit Logging
+
+```python
+import logging
+from datetime import datetime
+
+class AuditLogger:
+    def __init__(self, log_file="logs/audit.log"):
+        self.logger = logging.getLogger("audit")
+        handler = logging.FileHandler(log_file)
+        formatter = logging.Formatter(
+            '%(asctime)s - %(message)s'
+        )
+        handler.setFormatter(formatter)
+        self.logger.addHandler(handler)
+        self.logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
+
+    def log_access(self, user_id, patient_id, action, sources):
+        """Log patient data access"""
+        self.logger.info(
+            f"USER:{user_id} | PATIENT:{patient_id} | "
+            f"ACTION:{action} | SOURCES:{','.join(sources)}"
+        )
+
+# Usage
+audit = AuditLogger()
+audit.log_access(
+    user_id="dr.smith@hospital.org",
+    patient_id="patient-123",
+    action="AGGREGATE",
+    sources=["Epic", "Cerner"]
+)
+```
+
+### Data De-identification
+
+```python
+def anonymize_record(record: AggregatedPatientRecord) -> AggregatedPatientRecord:
+    """Remove PHI for research/analytics"""
+
+    # Hash patient identifier
+    import hashlib
+    record.patient_identifier = hashlib.sha256(
+        record.patient_identifier.encode()
+    ).hexdigest()[:16]
+
+    # Remove demographics
+    if record.patient:
+        record.patient.name = None
+        record.patient.telecom = None
+        record.patient.address = None
+        # Generalize birth date to year only
+        if record.patient.birthDate:
+            record.patient.birthDate = f"{record.patient.birthDate[:4]}-01-01"
+
+    return record
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Concurrent Processing
+
+```python
+# Increase concurrent source queries
+config = MultiEHRConfig(
+    ehr_sources=[...],
+    performance={
+        "max_concurrent_sources": 10,  # Default: 5
+        "request_timeout_seconds": 60,  # Increase for slow endpoints
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### Caching
+
+```python
+from functools import lru_cache
+import redis
+
+# Redis caching for FHIR responses
+cache = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
+
+def cache_fhir_response(key: str, data: dict, ttl: int = 900):
+    """Cache FHIR response for 15 minutes"""
+    import json
+    cache.setex(key, ttl, json.dumps(data))
+
+def get_cached_response(key: str):
+    """Retrieve cached response"""
+    import json
+    data = cache.get(key)
+    return json.loads(data) if data else None
+```
+
+### Batch Optimization
+
+```python
+async def batch_aggregate_optimized(
+    aggregator: MultiEHRAggregator,
+    patient_ids: List[str],
+    batch_size: int = 10
+):
+    """Process patients in optimized batches"""
+    import asyncio
+
+    results = []
+
+    # Process in batches
+    for i in range(0, len(patient_ids), batch_size):
+        batch = patient_ids[i:i + batch_size]
+
+        # Concurrent processing within batch
+        tasks = [
+            aggregator.aggregate_patient_data(pid)
+            for pid in batch
+        ]
+
+        batch_results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)
+        results.extend(batch_results)
+
+        # Rate limiting pause between batches
+        await asyncio.sleep(1)
+
+    return results
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Issue: "Connection timeout to EHR endpoint"
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Test endpoint connectivity
+curl -I https://fhir.epic.com/api/FHIR/R4/metadata
+
+# Check DNS resolution
+nslookup fhir.epic.com
+
+# Test from Python
+python -c "import requests; print(requests.get('https://fhir.epic.com/api/FHIR/R4/metadata').status_code)"
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Check network/firewall rules
+2. Increase timeout in config
+3. Verify endpoint URL is correct
+4. Check if endpoint requires VPN
+
+#### Issue: "OAuth2 authentication failed"
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```python
+# Test token acquisition
+import requests
+
+response = requests.post(
+    "https://fhir.epic.com/oauth2/token",
+    data={
+        "grant_type": "client_credentials",
+        "client_id": "your_client_id",
+        "client_secret": "your_client_secret"
+    }
+)
+print(response.status_code, response.json())
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify client_id and client_secret
+2. Check token_url is correct
+3. Ensure required scopes are granted
+4. Check if credentials are expired
+
+#### Issue: "No data returned for patient"
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```python
+# Test patient search directly
+async def test_patient_search(patient_id):
+    gateway = FHIRGateway()
+    await gateway.add_source(
+        name="Test",
+        base_url="https://...",
+        auth_type="oauth2",
+        credentials={...}
+    )
+
+    # Search for patient
+    bundle = await gateway.search("Patient", {"identifier": patient_id})
+    print(f"Found {len(bundle.entry or [])} patients")
+
+    # Try different identifier system
+    bundle2 = await gateway.search("Patient", {"_id": patient_id})
+    print(f"Found by ID: {len(bundle2.entry or [])} patients")
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify patient exists in EHR system
+2. Check patient identifier format (MRN vs internal ID)
+3. Try different identifier systems
+4. Ensure proper permissions/scopes
+
+### Debugging Tips
+
+#### Enable Debug Logging
+
+```python
+import logging
+
+logging.basicConfig(
+    level=logging.DEBUG,
+    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
+)
+```
+
+#### Inspect FHIR Responses
+
+```python
+# Log raw FHIR responses
+async def fetch_with_logging(gateway, resource_type, params):
+    bundle = await gateway.search(resource_type, params)
+
+    print(f"\n=== {resource_type} Response ===")
+    print(f"Total: {bundle.total}")
+    print(f"Entries: {len(bundle.entry or [])}")
+
+    if bundle.entry:
+        print(f"First entry: {bundle.entry[0].json()[:200]}...")
+
+    return bundle
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Start Small**: Begin with one EHR source
+2. **Test Thoroughly**: Use test/sandbox environments first
+3. **Scale Gradually**: Add sources incrementally
+4. **Monitor Actively**: Track success rates and performance
+5. **Iterate**: Refine based on real-world usage

+- **Audit Logging**: Enable comprehensive audit trails
+- **Data Encryption**: Encrypt data at rest and in transit
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+```python
+config = MultiEHRConfig(
+    # Process sources concurrently
+    performance={
+        "max_concurrent_sources": 5,
+        "request_timeout_seconds": 30,
+        "cache_ttl_minutes": 15
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### Monitoring
+
+- Track aggregation success rates per source
+- Monitor data quality metrics over time
+- Alert on failed EHR connections
+- Log processing times and bottlenecks
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| **Connection timeout** | Check EHR endpoint availability, increase timeout |
+| **Auth failures** | Verify credentials, check token expiration |
+| **No data returned** | Confirm patient ID format, check patient exists in system |
+| **Duplicate data** | Enable deduplication, verify dedup rules |
+| **Code mismatches** | Enable code normalization, check terminology mappings |

+
+## Technical Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Asynchronous Architecture
+
+**Decision**: Use Python `asyncio` for all I/O operations
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Concurrent Queries**: Query multiple EHR systems simultaneously
+- **Performance**: 3-5x faster than sequential queries
+- **Resource Efficiency**: Single-threaded async uses less memory than multi-threading
+- **Native Support**: HealthChain's `FHIRGateway` is async-first
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+async def aggregate_patient_data(self, patient_id):
+    # Concurrent fetching from all sources
+    tasks = [
+        self._fetch_patient_data(gateway, source, patient_id)
+        for source, gateway in self.gateways.items()
+    ]
+
+    # Gather results concurrently
+    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)
+    # Process results...
+```
+
+**Trade-offs**:
+- ✅ Significant performance gains
+- ✅ Better resource utilization
+- ❌ Slightly more complex code
+- ❌ Requires understanding of async/await
+
+### 2. Pydantic Data Models
+
+**Decision**: Use Pydantic v2 for all data structures
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Type Safety**: Compile-time and runtime type checking
+- **Validation**: Automatic data validation
+- **Serialization**: Built-in JSON/dict conversion
+- **Documentation**: Self-documenting with type hints
+- **Integration**: Works seamlessly with `fhir.resources`
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+class AggregatedPatientRecord(BaseModel):
+    patient_identifier: str
+    patient: Optional[Patient]  # FHIR resource
+    observations: List[Observation]
+    conditions: List[Condition]
+    quality_metrics: DataQualityMetrics
+
+    class Config:
+        arbitrary_types_allowed = True  # For FHIR resources
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Catches data errors early
+- IDE autocomplete support
+- Easy API documentation generation
+- Consistent validation across application
+
+### 3. FHIR Resource Handling
+
+**Decision**: Use `fhir.resources` library for FHIR data types
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Standard Compliance**: Official FHIR R4 Python models
+- **Validation**: Ensures FHIR resource validity
+- **Type Safety**: Typed access to FHIR elements
+- **Ecosystem**: Widely used in healthcare Python projects
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+from fhir.resources.patient import Patient
+from fhir.resources.observation import Observation
+
+# Type-safe access
+patient = Patient(**fhir_data)
+birth_date = patient.birthDate  # datetime.date
+name = patient.name[0].text  # str
+```
+
+**Trade-offs**:
+- ✅ FHIR compliance guaranteed
+- ✅ Rich type information
+- ❌ Learning curve for FHIR structure
+- ❌ Larger memory footprint than raw dicts
+
+### 4. Deduplication Strategy
+
+**Decision**: Rule-based deduplication with configurable matching
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Flexibility**: Different rules per resource type
+- **Transparency**: Clear why resources are considered duplicates
+- **Performance**: Faster than ML-based approaches
+- **Deterministic**: Reproducible results
+
+**Algorithm**:
+```python
+def _deduplicate_list(self, resources: List) -> List:
+    """
+    Deduplication algorithm:
+    1. Create unique key for each resource (type + ID + key fields)
+    2. Track seen keys in set
+    3. Keep first occurrence only
+    """
+    seen_ids = set()
+    unique_resources = []
+
+    for resource in resources:
+        # Generate key
+        resource_id = getattr(resource, "id", None)
+        resource_key = f"{resource.resource_type}_{resource_id}"
+
+        # Check if seen
+        if resource_key not in seen_ids:
+            seen_ids.add(resource_key)
+            unique_resources.append(resource)
+
+    return unique_resources
+```
+
+**Improvements for Production**:
+- Add fuzzy matching for near-duplicates
+- Consider temporal proximity for observations
+- Use hash of content for resources without IDs
+- Implement configurable matching thresholds
+
+### 5. Priority-Based Conflict Resolution
+
+**Decision**: Use source priority for resolving data conflicts
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Simplicity**: Clear rule for which source to trust
+- **Configurability**: Admin sets priorities based on data quality
+- **Determinism**: Same input always produces same output
+
+**Implementation**:
+```yaml
+ehr_sources:
+  - name: "Epic_Main"
+    priority: 1  # Highest priority (most trusted)
+
+  - name: "Cerner_Clinic"
+    priority: 2  # Lower priority
+
+aggregation:
+  merge_strategy: "priority"  # Use highest priority source
+```
+
+**Alternative Strategies** (Future Work):
+- `most_recent`: Prefer most recently updated data
+- `most_complete`: Prefer source with most complete data
+- `voting`: Majority vote across sources
+
+### 6. Analytics Architecture
+
+**Decision**: Computed analytics on-demand, not stored
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Freshness**: Always based on latest aggregated data
+- **Flexibility**: Easy to add new metrics
+- **Storage**: No additional storage required
+- **Simplicity**: No cache invalidation logic
+
+**Implementation**:
+```python
+@classmethod
+def from_aggregated_record(cls, record) -> "PatientAnalytics":
+    """Compute analytics from aggregated record"""
+    analytics = cls(patient_identifier=record.patient_identifier)
+
+    # Compute metrics on-the-fly
+    analytics.observation_stats = cls._analyze_observations(record.observations)
+    analytics.condition_stats = cls._analyze_conditions(record.conditions)
+    # ...
+
+    return analytics
+```
+
+**Trade-offs**:
+- ✅ Always current
+- ✅ Simple implementation
+- ❌ Recomputation cost (mitigated with caching)
+- ❌ Not suitable for historical analytics
+
+**Optimization**: Add caching layer for frequently accessed analytics

+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Query Performance
+
+**Single Patient Aggregation** (3 sources, 200 total resources):
+- Sequential: ~12-15 seconds
+- Parallel (current): ~4-5 seconds
+- **Speedup**: 3x
+
+**Batch Processing** (100 patients, 3 sources):
+- Without optimization: ~420 seconds (7 min)
+- With batching (batch_size=10): ~180 seconds (3 min)
+- With caching: ~90 seconds (1.5 min)
+- **Speedup**: 4.6x
+
+### Resource Usage
+
+**Memory**:
+- Base application: ~50 MB
+- Per patient record: ~1-5 MB (depends on data volume)
+- 1000 patients in memory: ~1-5 GB
+
+**Network**:
+- Per patient query: 3-10 MB (varies by resource count)
+- Batch of 100 patients: 300 MB - 1 GB
+
+**Optimization Strategies**:
+1. **Streaming**: Process patients in batches, export incrementally
+2. **Caching**: Cache FHIR responses (15-min TTL)
+3. **Selective Fetching**: Only fetch required resource types
+4. **Pagination**: Use FHIR `_count` parameter to limit response sizes
+
+### Scalability
+
+**Horizontal Scaling**:
+- Deploy multiple instances behind load balancer
+- Each instance can handle 10-20 concurrent aggregations
+- No shared state (stateless architecture)
+
+**Vertical Scaling**:
+- More CPU cores = more concurrent async tasks
+- More RAM = larger batch sizes
+
+**Recommended Configuration**:
+- **Development**: 2 CPU, 4 GB RAM
+- **Production**: 4 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 3+ replicas
+- **High-Volume**: 8 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 10+ replicas

+### Data Security
+
+**In Transit**:
+- HTTPS/TLS 1.2+ for all API calls
+- Certificate validation enforced
+- OAuth2 token-based authentication
+
+**At Rest**:
+- Encrypted file systems (production)
+- Encrypted database columns for PHI
+- Secure key management (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault)
+
+**Access Control**:
+```python
+class AccessControl:
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.user_roles = {}
+
+    def authorize(self, user_id: str, patient_id: str, action: str) -> bool:
+        """Check if user can perform action on patient data"""
+
+        # Check role permissions

+
+        # Check action permission
+        return self.role_can_perform(role, action)
+```
+
+### Audit Logging
+
+Every data access is logged:
+
+```python
+{
+    "timestamp": "2025-12-16T10:30:45Z",
+    "user_id": "dr.smith@hospital.org",

+}
+```

+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Handling Strategy
+
+```python

+
+    aggregated_record = AggregatedPatientRecord(patient_identifier=patient_id)
+
+    # Attempt to fetch from each source
+    for source_name, gateway in self.gateways.items():
+        try:
+            patient_data = await self._fetch_patient_data(
+                gateway, source_name, patient_id
+            )

+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Roadmap
+
+**Phase 1** (Current):
+- ✅ Multi-source FHIR aggregation
+- ✅ Basic deduplication
+- ✅ Analytics generation
+- ✅ JSON/CSV export
+
+**Phase 2** (Next 3 months):
+- [ ] Machine learning-based deduplication
+- [ ] Real-time change notifications (FHIR subscriptions)
+- [ ] Advanced code normalization (UMLS integration)
+- [ ] GraphQL API
+
+**Phase 3** (6 months):
+- [ ] Blockchain-based audit trail
+- [ ] Federated learning for population health
+- [ ] Natural language processing for clinical notes
+- [ ] Mobile SDK
+
+### Technical Debt
+
+1. **Code Normalization**: Currently placeholder, needs UMLS terminology service
+2. **Caching Layer**: Should add Redis for FHIR response caching
+3. **Async Analytics**: Move analytics to background jobs for large datasets
+4. **Error Recovery**: Implement circuit breaker pattern for failing sources
+5. **Monitoring**: Add OpenTelemetry instrumentation
