04/29/2025, 8:05 PMhaha, sure we can get creative but my question remains: does medplum allow for creating custom non-FHIR-template brand new tables?

04/30/2025, 6:37 PMgotcha. it seems there's no EHR that allows for that. Any reason why that might be? I find it so bizzarre to keep two types of databases!!! can't be just me.

04/30/2025, 11:26 PMMedplum is focused on being FHIR-native and the data model sits a layer above the actual database implementation. The idea is that any supported data structures should flow from the FHIR specifications.
