Why Source-Available?

Healthcare vendors sell black boxes. We think you deserve better.

Transparency

Audit the exact code your PHI runs through. No proprietary binaries. No "trust us" security. Your compliance team can read the source.

No Lock-In

Enterprise healthcare platforms trap you with proprietary formats. HDIM is FHIR-native and source-available. Your data and workflows stay yours.

Sustainable Open Source

BSL funds continued development without venture-capital extraction. Commercial licenses support the team. The code opens to GPL-2.0+ in 4 years.

Content Boundaries

Platform code is source-available. Some clinical content has separate licensing requirements.

Open Distribution

  • Core platform source code (all 59 microservices)
  • Infrastructure automation & Docker configurations
  • Integration tooling & API contracts
  • Test suites & validation harnesses
  • Documentation & deployment guides

Restricted Content

  • NCQA-owned HEDIS measure specifications
  • HL7 specification text (CQL authoring guide)
  • Licensed code-system datasets (CPT, LOINC, SNOMED)
  • Customer-specific PHI and configuration
  • MSA/BAA-governed commercial deliverables

These items have their own licensing requirements from their respective owners (NCQA, HL7, AMA, Regenstrief, SNOMED International).
