I'm totally on board with FHIR. I just don't think we're there yet. I've talked with 3 of the Argonaut sites and real-life, production ready FHIR capabilities are lacking. There aren't many useful provider-facing applications that you can built with just GET requests. Most applications require real-time pushing and pulling of data. As sad as it is, until FHIR as implemented (not theoretically) that way, we'll still be plugging HL7v2 together. I, as an HL7v2 slinger myself, hope that goes away soon.
