What is FHIR?

FHIR (Fast Health Interoperability Resources) is a powerful standard developed by HL7 to promote seamless Healthcare Interoperability. It enables efficient communication and sharing of healthcare data across diverse systems, improving the flow of critical health information.

Key Features of FHIR:

  • Interoperability: FHIR provides a framework that allows health systems to connect and share data effortlessly.
  • Standardized Data Representation: FHIR defines a set of reusable data formats ("resources") for various healthcare-related concepts like patients, medications, diagnostics, and more.
  • API-First Approach: FHIR offers a robust API for accessing, creating, updating, and managing electronic health records (EHR), making integration with modern web technologies smooth.

How Does FHIR Work?

  1. Information Network: FHIR acts as an information network, linking healthcare data across different systems, ensuring that patient information is accessible where and when it’s needed.
  2. Communication Network: FHIR facilitates the secure exchange of data between systems, improving the coordination of care across healthcare providers and platforms.
