 This repository contains automation to deploy [OpenEMR](https://www.open-emr.org/) on Azure. Great work being done on this project on the [OpenEMR Repo](https://github.com/openemr/openemr).
 
+## Quick Start: Integrated Deployment (Recommended)
+
+For a complete, production-ready deployment including OpenEMR, Azure Health Data Services (AHDS), and automatic FHIR synchronization:
+
+**[→ See Integrated Deployment Guide](integrated-deployment/README.md)**
+
+This automated deployment includes:
+- ✅ OpenEMR 7.0.2 on Azure VM
+- ✅ Azure Health Data Services (FHIR R4)
+- ✅ FHIR Connector with automatic sync every minute
+- ✅ Complete configuration with minimal user interaction
+- ✅ Verification script to validate the integration
+
+```bash
+cd integrated-deployment
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
 ## All-in-one:
 ### OpenEMR+MySQL Containers with Docker Compose on an Azure IaaS Virtual Machine

+
+### Component Details
+
+#### 1. OpenEMR VM
+- **OS**: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+- **Deployment**: Docker Compose
+- **Services**:
+  - OpenEMR 7.0.2 (PHP application)
+  - MariaDB 10.11 (MySQL database)
+- **Access**: HTTP/HTTPS via public IP
+- **FHIR API**: `/apis/default/fhir/*`
+
+#### 2. FHIR Connector (Azure Function App)
+- **Runtime**: Node.js 18
+- **Plan**: Consumption (serverless)
+- **Functions**:
+  - **HTTP-triggered**:
+    - `syncPatient` - Sync individual patient
+    - `syncObservation` - Sync individual observation
+    - `syncPatientWithObservations` - Sync patient + all observations
+  - **Timer-triggered**:
+    - `autoSync` - Runs every minute, syncs all patients and observations
+
+#### 3. Azure Health Data Services
+- **Type**: FHIR R4 service
+- **Authentication**: Azure AD (OAuth2)
+- **Access**: Managed via RBAC (FHIR Data Contributor role)
+
+## Data Flow
+
+### Automatic Synchronization Flow
+
+```
+1. Timer Trigger (Every Minute)
+   │
+   v
+2. autoSync Function Executes
+   │
+   ├─> Authenticate to OpenEMR (OAuth2 client credentials)
+   │
+   ├─> Search for all patients in OpenEMR
+   │   GET /apis/default/fhir/Patient
+   │
+   ├─> For each patient:
+   │   ├─> Authenticate to AHDS (Azure AD)
+   │   ├─> Upsert patient to AHDS FHIR
+   │   │   PUT /Patient/{id}
+   │   │
+   │   └─> Search for patient's observations
+   │       GET /apis/default/fhir/Observation?patient={id}
+   │       │
+   │       └─> For each observation:
+   │           └─> Upsert observation to AHDS FHIR
+   │               PUT /Observation/{id}
+   │
+   └─> Log results to Application Insights
+```
+
+### Manual Sync Flow
+
+```
+1. HTTP Request to Function
+   POST /api/syncPatient
+   Body: { "patientId": "1" }
+   │
+   v
+2. Function Authenticates
+   ├─> OpenEMR OAuth2
+   └─> Azure AD
+   │
+   v
+3. Retrieve Resource from OpenEMR
+   GET /apis/default/fhir/Patient/1
+   │
+   v
+4. Push Resource to AHDS
+   PUT /Patient/1
+   │
+   v
+5. Return Success/Failure
+```
+
+## Authentication & Security
+
+### OpenEMR Authentication
+- **Method**: OAuth2 Client Credentials Flow
+- **Grant Type**: `client_credentials`
+- **Scope**: `api:fhir`
+- **Token Endpoint**: `/oauth2/default/token`
+- **Token Lifetime**: Configurable in OpenEMR (typically 1 hour)
+
+### AHDS Authentication
+- **Method**: Azure AD OAuth2
+- **Credential Types**:
+  - Client Secret (current implementation)
+  - Managed Identity (recommended for production)
+- **Scope**: `{fhir-endpoint}/.default`
+- **Role Required**: FHIR Data Contributor
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Secrets Management**
+   - Store secrets in Azure Key Vault
+   - Reference via function app settings: `@Microsoft.KeyVault(...)`
+   - Rotate secrets regularly
+
+2. **Network Security**
+   - OpenEMR: Configure NSG to restrict access
+   - AHDS: Use Private Link for production
+   - Function App: Enable IP restrictions
+
+3. **Identity**
+   - Use System-Assigned Managed Identity
+   - Grant minimal required permissions
+   - Enable Azure AD authentication on function endpoints
+
+4. **Monitoring**
+   - Enable Application Insights
+   - Configure alerts for failures
+   - Regular security audits

+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling & Retry Logic
+
+### Retry Strategy
+
+The sync service implements exponential backoff:
+
+```typescript
+Attempt 1: Execute immediately
+Attempt 2: Wait 1 second (2^0 * 1000ms)
+Attempt 3: Wait 2 seconds (2^1 * 1000ms)
+Max Attempts: 3
+```
+
+### Error Categories
+
+1. **Transient Errors** (Retried)
+   - Network timeouts
+   - 429 Rate Limiting
+   - 503 Service Unavailable
+   - Token expiration
+
+2. **Permanent Errors** (Not Retried)
+   - 401 Unauthorized
+   - 400 Bad Request (invalid FHIR resource)
+   - 404 Not Found (resource doesn't exist)
+
+### Logging
+
+All operations are logged with:
+- Timestamp
+- Operation type
+- Resource type and ID
+- Success/failure status
+- Error details (if applicable)
+- Retry attempts
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Throughput
+
+- **Auto-sync frequency**: Every 1 minute
+- **Concurrent operations**: Limited by function app scaling
+- **Batch size**: All patients per execution (POC - optimize for production)
+
+### Optimization Strategies (Production)
+
+1. **Incremental Sync**
+   ```typescript
+   // Only sync resources modified since last sync
+   const lastSync = await getLastSyncTimestamp();
+   searchParams._lastUpdated = `gt${lastSync}`;
+   ```
+
+2. **Pagination**
+   ```typescript
+   // Process large datasets in batches
+   let nextUrl = `/Patient?_count=100`;
+   while (nextUrl) {
+     const bundle = await fetch(nextUrl);
+     processBatch(bundle.entry);
+     nextUrl = bundle.link.find(l => l.relation === 'next')?.url;
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Parallel Processing**
+   ```typescript
+   // Process patients in parallel
+   const results = await Promise.all(
+     patients.map(p => syncPatient(p.id))
+   );
+   ```
+
+## Monitoring & Observability
+
+### Key Metrics
+
+1. **Sync Success Rate**
+   ```kusto
+   traces
+   | where message contains "Successfully synced"
+   | summarize SuccessCount = count() by bin(timestamp, 1h)
+   ```
+
+2. **Sync Latency**
+   ```kusto
+   requests
+   | where name startswith "sync"
+   | summarize avg(duration), percentile(duration, 95) by name
+   ```
+
+3. **Error Rate**
+   ```kusto
+   exceptions
+   | summarize ErrorCount = count() by problemId
+   | order by ErrorCount desc
+   ```
+
+### Alerts
+
+Configure alerts for:
+- Sync success rate < 95%
+- Average latency > 5 seconds
+- Authentication failures > 5 in 5 minutes
+- Function execution failures
+
+## Deployment Architecture

+├── README.md                  # Full documentation
+└── QUICKSTART.md             # Quick start guide
+```
+
+### Deployment Options
+
+1. **One-Click Azure Portal**
+   - Deploy to Azure button
+   - Web-based parameter input
+   - ~20 minutes
+
+2. **Automated Script**
+   - Bash script (`deploy.sh`)
+   - Minimal user input
+   - ~20 minutes + manual API client setup
+
+3. **Manual/Scripted**
+   - Step-by-step via Azure CLI
+   - Full control over each resource
+   - ~30-45 minutes
+
+## Extension Points
+
+### Adding New Resource Types
+
+1. **Create sync method** in `src/sync-service.ts`:
+   ```typescript
+   async syncEncounter(encounterId: string): Promise<SyncResult> {
+     // Implementation similar to syncPatient
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Create Azure Function** in `functions/syncEncounter.ts`:
+   ```typescript
+   export async function syncEncounter(
+     request: HttpRequest,
+     context: InvocationContext
+   ): Promise<HttpResponseInit> {
+     // Function handler
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Update autoSync** to include new resource type
+
+### Custom Transformations
+
+Add transformation logic in sync service:
+
+```typescript
+private transformResource(resource: any): any {
+  // Map OpenEMR codes to standard terminologies
+  // Normalize identifiers
+  // Add provenance information
+  return transformedResource;
+}
+```
+
+## Compliance & Governance
+
+### PHI Handling
+
+- **Encryption in Transit**: All API calls use HTTPS/TLS 1.2+
+- **Encryption at Rest**: AHDS encrypts data at rest automatically
+- **Access Logs**: All data access logged via Application Insights
+- **Data Residency**: Configure region during deployment
+- **Retention**: No PHI stored in function app (stateless)
+
+### Audit Trail
+
+Every sync operation creates an audit entry:
+- Who: Service principal ID
+- What: Resource type and ID
+- When: ISO 8601 timestamp
+- Where: Source (OpenEMR) and destination (AHDS)
+- Result: Success or failure with details
+
+## Disaster Recovery
+
+### Backup Strategy
+
+1. **OpenEMR**
+   - MySQL: Automated backups via Azure Backup
+   - Container volumes: Persistent across deployments
+
+2. **AHDS**
+   - Automatic backup and geo-replication (configured at service level)
+   - Point-in-time restore capability
+
+3. **Function App**
+   - Infrastructure as Code (redeploy anytime)
+   - Configuration in Key Vault (backed up)
+
+### Recovery Procedures
+
+1. **OpenEMR Failure**
+   - Restore VM from backup
+   - Verify Docker containers are running
+   - Sync resumes automatically
+
+2. **AHDS Failure**
+   - Azure handles service recovery
+   - Function retries will handle temporary outages
+
+3. **Function App Failure**
+   - Redeploy from ARM template
+   - Restore application settings
+   - Manual sync to catch up if needed
+
+## Cost Optimization
+
+### Estimated Monthly Costs (USD)
+
+| Component | SKU | Estimated Cost |
+|-----------|-----|---------------|
+| VM (B2s) | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM | $30-40 |
+| AHDS FHIR | Standard | $0.05/transaction |
+| Function App | Consumption | $5-10 |
+| Storage | LRS | $1-2 |
+| Application Insights | Pay-as-you-go | $2-5 |
+| **Total** | | **~$40-60/month** |
+
+### Cost Reduction Strategies
+
+1. **Use Reserved Instances** for VM (save up to 72%)
+2. **Optimize sync frequency** (reduce to 5 or 15 minutes)
+3. **Implement incremental sync** (reduce AHDS transactions)
+4. **Use cheaper VM SKU** for dev/test (B1s)
+

+
+## Option 1: One-Click Deploy to Azure (Simplest)
+
+[![Deploy To Azure](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/master/1-CONTRIBUTION-GUIDE/images/deploytoazure.svg?sanitize=true)](https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fmatthansen0%2Fazure-openemr%2Fcopilot%2Fintegrate-openemr-fhir-api-again%2Fintegrated-deployment%2Fazuredeploy.json)
+
+**Note**: This button deploys from the `copilot/integrate-openemr-fhir-api-again` branch. Once merged to main, update the URL to use `main` branch.
+
+### What Gets Deployed
+
+- ✅ OpenEMR 7.0.2 on Azure VM
+- ✅ Azure Health Data Services (FHIR R4)  
+- ✅ FHIR Connector Azure Function (with auto-sync every minute)
+- ✅ All networking and security infrastructure
+
+### After Deployment
+
+1. **Configure OpenEMR API Client** (5 minutes)
+   - Access OpenEMR at the URL shown in deployment outputs
+   - Login with `admin / openEMRonAzure!`
+   - Go to Administration > System > API Clients
+   - Register new client with client credentials grant and `api:fhir` scope
+   - Save the client ID and secret
+
+2. **Update Function App Settings**
+   ```bash
+   az functionapp config appsettings set \
+     --name <function-app-name> \
+     --resource-group <resource-group-name> \
+     --settings \
+       OPENEMR_CLIENT_ID="<your-client-id>" \
+       OPENEMR_CLIENT_SECRET="<your-client-secret>"
+   ```
+
+3. **Deploy Function Code**
+   ```bash
+   cd fhir-connector
+   npm install && npm run build
+   func azure functionapp publish <function-app-name>
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify Integration**
+   ```bash
+   cd ../integrated-deployment
+   ./verify.sh deployment-info.json
+   ```
+
+## Option 2: Automated Script Deploy (Recommended for Dev/Test)
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Azure CLI installed and logged in
+- jq installed for JSON parsing
+- Bash shell (Linux, macOS, or WSL on Windows)
+
+### Steps
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://github.com/matthansen0/azure-openemr.git
+cd azure-openemr
+
+# Checkout the feature branch (until merged to main)
+git checkout copilot/integrate-openemr-fhir-api-again
+
+# Run deployment script
+cd integrated-deployment
+./deploy.sh
+
+# Follow the prompts to provide VM credentials
+# Wait ~20 minutes for deployment to complete
+
+# Configure OpenEMR API client (see manual steps in output)
+
+# Deploy function code
+cd ../fhir-connector
+npm install && npm run build
+func azure functionapp publish <function-app-name-from-output>
+
+# Run verification
+cd ../integrated-deployment
+./verify.sh
+```
+
+## Option 3: Manual Step-by-Step (Full Control)
+
+See the [full deployment guide](README.md) for detailed step-by-step instructions.
+
+## What Happens After Deployment?
+
+### Automatic Synchronization
+
+The FHIR Connector runs automatically every minute:
+- Searches for all patients in OpenEMR
+- Syncs patients to AHDS FHIR
+- Syncs all observations for each patient
+- Logs all operations to Application Insights
+
+### Manual Sync
+
+You can also trigger manual syncs:
+
+```bash
+# Get function URL and key
+FUNCTION_APP="<your-function-app-name>"
+RESOURCE_GROUP="<your-resource-group>"
+
+FUNCTION_KEY=$(az functionapp keys list \
+  --name "$FUNCTION_APP" \
+  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
+  --query functionKeys.default -o tsv)
+
+FUNCTION_URL="https://${FUNCTION_APP}.azurewebsites.net"
+
+# Sync specific patient
+curl -X POST "${FUNCTION_URL}/api/syncPatient?code=${FUNCTION_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"patientId": "1"}'
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+The verification script:
+1. Creates a test patient "John Doe" in OpenEMR
+2. Creates a test observation (body weight)
+3. Triggers manual sync
+4. Waits 60 seconds for auto-sync
+5. Verifies patient exists in AHDS FHIR
+
+Expected output:
+```
+[SUCCESS] =========================================
+[SUCCESS] VERIFICATION PASSED!
+[SUCCESS] =========================================
+[SUCCESS] Patient 'John Doe' was successfully:
+[SUCCESS]   1. Created in OpenEMR (Patient/1)
+[SUCCESS]   2. Synced via FHIR Connector
+[SUCCESS]   3. Verified in AHDS FHIR
+[SUCCESS] Found 1 patient(s) in AHDS
+[SUCCESS] =========================================
+```
+
+## Monitoring

+- Deploy OpenEMR on an Azure VM (~15 minutes)
+- Deploy Azure Health Data Services (FHIR R4)
+- Create Azure AD app registration
+- Deploy FHIR Connector Function App
+- Configure all necessary settings
+- Save deployment information to `deployment-info.json`
+
+### 2. Manual Configuration (One-Time Setup)
+
+After deployment, you need to configure the OpenEMR API client **once**:
+
+1. **Access OpenEMR**
+   - URL will be displayed at the end of deployment
+   - Default credentials: `admin / openEMRonAzure!`
+
+2. **Enable FHIR API**
+   - Navigate to **Administration** → **Globals** → **Connectors**
+   - Enable **"Enable OpenEMR Patient FHIR API"**
+   - Enable **"Enable OpenEMR FHIR API"**
+   - Click **Save**
+
+3. **Register API Client**
+   - Go to **Administration** → **System** → **API Clients**
+   - Click **"Register New API Client"**
+   - Configure:
+     - **Client Name**: `FHIR Connector`
+     - **Grant Type**: `Client Credentials`
+     - **Scope**: Check `api:fhir`
+   - Click **Register**
+   - **IMPORTANT**: Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
+
+4. **Update Function App Settings**
+   ```bash
+   # Load deployment info
+   RESOURCE_GROUP=$(jq -r '.resourceGroup' deployment-info.json)
+   FUNCTION_APP=$(jq -r '.functionApp.name' deployment-info.json)
+   
+   # Update with your actual OpenEMR credentials
+   az functionapp config appsettings set \
+     --name "$FUNCTION_APP" \
+     --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
+     --settings \
+       OPENEMR_CLIENT_ID="your-actual-client-id" \
+       OPENEMR_CLIENT_SECRET="your-actual-client-secret"
+   ```
+
+### 3. Deploy Function Code
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to fhir-connector directory
+cd ../fhir-connector
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Build TypeScript
+npm run build
+
+# Deploy to Azure
+FUNCTION_APP=$(jq -r '.functionApp.name' ../integrated-deployment/deployment-info.json)
+func azure functionapp publish "$FUNCTION_APP"
+```
+
+### 4. Verify the Integration
+
+```bash
+# Return to integrated-deployment directory
+cd ../integrated-deployment
+
+# Run verification script
+./verify.sh
+
+# The script will:
+# 1. Create a test patient "John Doe" in OpenEMR
+# 2. Trigger manual sync
+# 3. Wait 60 seconds for auto-sync
+# 4. Verify patient exists in AHDS FHIR
+```
+
+## Features
+
+### Automatic Synchronization
+
+The FHIR Connector includes a timer-triggered function that:
+- Runs **every minute** (`autoSync` function)
+- Searches for all patients in OpenEMR
+- Syncs patients and their observations to AHDS
+- Includes retry logic for transient failures
+- Logs all operations to Application Insights
+
+### Manual Sync Functions
+
+In addition to automatic sync, you can trigger manual syncs:
+
+```bash
+# Get function app details
+FUNCTION_APP=$(jq -r '.functionApp.name' deployment-info.json)
+RESOURCE_GROUP=$(jq -r '.resourceGroup' deployment-info.json)
+
+# Get function key
+FUNCTION_KEY=$(az functionapp keys list \
+  --name "$FUNCTION_APP" \
+  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
+  --query functionKeys.default \
+  --output tsv)
+
+FUNCTION_URL="https://${FUNCTION_APP}.azurewebsites.net"
+
+# Sync a specific patient
+curl -X POST "${FUNCTION_URL}/api/syncPatient?code=${FUNCTION_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"patientId": "1"}'
+
+# Sync a specific observation
+curl -X POST "${FUNCTION_URL}/api/syncObservation?code=${FUNCTION_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"observationId": "1"}'
+
+# Sync patient with all observations
+curl -X POST "${FUNCTION_URL}/api/syncPatientWithObservations?code=${FUNCTION_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"patientId": "1"}'
+```
+
+## Deployment Outputs
+
+After successful deployment, you'll receive:
+
+```
+OpenEMR:
+  URL: http://openemr-xxxxxxxx.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com
+  Username: admin
+  Password: openEMRonAzure!
+
+Azure Health Data Services:
+  FHIR Endpoint: https://ahds-xxxxxxxx-fhir.fhir.azurehealthcareapis.com
+
+FHIR Connector:
+  Function App: fhir-connector-xxxxxxxx
+  Azure AD App ID: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+All information is also saved to `deployment-info.json` for later reference.
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### View Function Logs
+
+```bash
+# Stream live logs
+FUNCTION_APP=$(jq -r '.functionApp.name' deployment-info.json)
+RESOURCE_GROUP=$(jq -r '.resourceGroup' deployment-info.json)
+
+az webapp log tail \
+  --name "$FUNCTION_APP" \
+  --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP"
+```
+
+### Application Insights

+
+### Check Auto-Sync Status
+
+The `autoSync` function runs every minute. Check its execution:
+
+```bash
+# View recent executions
+az monitor app-insights query \
+  --app $(az functionapp show --name "$FUNCTION_APP" --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" --query "appInsightsId" -o tsv) \
+  --analytics-query "traces | where operation_Name == 'autoSync' | order by timestamp desc | take 10"
+```
+

+**Problem**: OpenEMR URL returns connection error
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Wait a few more minutes (initial setup can take 15-20 minutes)
+- Check VM is running: `az vm show --name OpenEMR-VM --resource-group <rg-name>`
+- Check NSG rules allow HTTP/HTTPS traffic
+- SSH into VM and check Docker containers: `docker ps`
+
+### Function Sync Failures
+
+**Problem**: Sync fails with authentication errors
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Verify OpenEMR API client is configured correctly
+- Check function app settings have correct credentials
+- Ensure FHIR Data Contributor role is assigned
+- Wait a few minutes for role assignments to propagate
+
+### Patient Not Found in AHDS
+
+**Problem**: Verification shows patient missing in AHDS
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Check function app logs for errors
+- Manually trigger sync again
+- Verify FHIR endpoint is correct
+- Test AHDS connectivity with Azure CLI:
+  ```bash
+  FHIR_ENDPOINT=$(jq -r '.ahds.fhirEndpoint' deployment-info.json)
+  TOKEN=$(az account get-access-token --resource "$FHIR_ENDPOINT" --query accessToken -o tsv)
+  curl -X GET "${FHIR_ENDPOINT}/metadata" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+  ```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Production Hardening
+
+For production deployments, consider these enhancements:
+
+1. **Use Managed Identity** instead of client secrets
+   ```bash
+   # Enable managed identity for function app
+   az functionapp identity assign \
+     --name "$FUNCTION_APP" \
+     --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP"
+   
+   # Assign FHIR role to managed identity
+   PRINCIPAL_ID=$(az functionapp identity show \
+     --name "$FUNCTION_APP" \
+     --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
+     --query principalId -o tsv)
+   
+   az role assignment create \
+     --assignee "$PRINCIPAL_ID" \
+     --role "FHIR Data Contributor" \
+     --scope "<fhir-resource-id>"
+   ```
+
+2. **Store Secrets in Key Vault**
+   ```bash
+   # Create Key Vault
+   az keyvault create \
+     --name "openemr-kv-${TIMESTAMP}" \
+     --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP"
+   
+   # Store secrets
+   az keyvault secret set \
+     --vault-name "openemr-kv-${TIMESTAMP}" \
+     --name "openemr-client-secret" \
+     --value "$OPENEMR_CLIENT_SECRET"
+   ```
+
+3. **Restrict Network Access**
+   - Configure NSG to limit OpenEMR access to specific IPs
+   - Use Azure Private Link for AHDS
+   - Enable function app IP restrictions
+
+4. **Enable Advanced Threat Protection**
+   - Enable on AHDS workspace
+   - Configure alerts for suspicious activities
+
+5. **Implement Audit Logging**
+   - Enable diagnostic settings on all resources
+   - Send logs to Log Analytics workspace
+   - Set up alerts for critical events
+
+## Cleanup
+
+To remove all deployed resources:
+
+```bash
+RESOURCE_GROUP=$(jq -r '.resourceGroup' deployment-info.json)
+
+# Delete the entire resource group
+az group delete \
+  --name "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
+  --yes \
+  --no-wait
+
+# Optionally delete the Azure AD app registration
+APP_ID=$(jq -r '.functionApp.appId' deployment-info.json)
+az ad app delete --id "$APP_ID"
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Resource Topology
+
+```
+Resource Group: openemr-fhir-rg-<timestamp>
+├── OpenEMR VM
+│   ├── Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+│   ├── Docker + Docker Compose
+│   ├── OpenEMR Container (7.0.2)
+│   └── MySQL Container (MariaDB 10.11)
+│
+├── Azure Health Data Services
+│   ├── AHDS Workspace
+│   └── FHIR Service (R4)
+│
+├── FHIR Connector
+│   ├── Function App (Node.js 18)
+│   ├── App Service Plan (Consumption)
+│   ├── Storage Account
+│   └── Application Insights
+│
+└── Networking
+    ├── Virtual Network
+    ├── Network Security Group
+    └── Public IP Address
+```
+
+### Data Flow
+
+1. **Patient Created in OpenEMR**
+   - User creates patient via OpenEMR UI or API
+   - Patient data stored in MySQL database
+
+2. **Auto-Sync Trigger (Every Minute)**
+   - Timer-triggered function executes
+   - Authenticates to OpenEMR via OAuth2
+   - Searches for all patients (or recent changes)
+
+3. **Data Retrieval**
+   - Fetches patient FHIR resources
+   - Fetches associated observations
+
+4. **Authentication to AHDS**
+   - Obtains Azure AD token
+   - Uses FHIR Data Contributor role
+
+5. **Data Upload**
+   - POSTs/PUTs patient to AHDS
+   - POSTs/PUTs observations to AHDS
+   - Handles errors with retry logic
+
+6. **Logging**
+   - All operations logged to Application Insights
+   - Errors captured with stack traces
+   - Metrics tracked for monitoring
+
+## Extending the Solution
+
+### Add More FHIR Resources
+
+To sync additional resource types (Encounter, MedicationRequest, etc.):
+
+1. Add sync methods to `src/sync-service.ts`
+2. Create new Azure Function handlers in `functions/`
+3. Update `autoSync` function to include new resources
+
+### Implement Incremental Sync
+
+For production efficiency, sync only changed records:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Filter by _lastUpdated
+const bundle = await openemrClient.searchFhirResources('Patient', {
+  '_lastUpdated': `gt${lastSyncTimestamp}`
+});
+```
+
+### Add Terminology Mapping
+
+Map OpenEMR codes to standard terminologies:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Map local codes to SNOMED
+function mapToStandard(resource: any): any {
+  // Implement mapping logic
+  return transformedResource;
+}
+```
