+- Uses kotlin-fhirpath for full FHIRPath support
 - Access to complete FHIR validation capabilities
-- Can leverage Java ecosystem libraries
+- Can leverage additional Java ecosystem libraries
 
 #### JavaScript/Node.js
 - Compiles to JavaScript modules
-- Uses basic FHIRPath implementation
-- Integrates with existing TypeScript codebase
+- Uses kotlin-fhirpath compiled to JavaScript
+- No dependency on Node.js fhirpath library

+## Dependencies
+
+### Kotlin Multiplatform
+- **kotlin-fhirpath**: `com.github.jingtang10:kotlin-fhirpath:0.1.0`
+- **kotlinx.serialization**: For cross-platform data serialization
+- **kotlinx.datetime**: For date/time handling

+### Removed Dependencies
+- ❌ Node.js `fhirpath` library (replaced by kotlin-fhirpath)
+- ❌ Custom FHIRPath implementations
