The guide explores the challenges and potential solutions of implementing openEHR schema modeling with MongoDB. Understanding the openEHR specification, interoperability standards such as HL7 FHIR, and its complex hierarchical structure are crucial for addressing these challenges. Key issues include data versioning and evolution, performance and scalability, and query patterns. The guide presents two possible solution options: the attribute pattern and the flat hierarchy model with a wildcard search index, both of which offer flexibility and performance optimizations tailored to different use cases. Additionally, MongoDB Atlas Search introduces powerful search capabilities for enhanced query and retrieval functionalities.
