FHIR defines standardized data formats and RESTful APIs that enable healthcare systems to share patient information securely and efficiently across different platforms and organizations.
FHIR uses modern web technologies like REST APIs, JSON, and HTTP, making it easier for developers to implement. Unlike legacy HL7 v2 or CDA standards, FHIR provides modular resources that can be combined flexibly.
In many regions, yes. Regulations like the ONC Cures Act in the U.S. and the European Health Data Space (EHDS) require or strongly encourage FHIR adoption for healthcare interoperability.
Resources are modular data elements representing specific types of healthcare information — such as Patient, Observation, Medication, or Encounter — that can be combined to represent any clinical scenario.
Start with pilot projects like patient data access APIs, engage leadership, train your team on FHIR fundamentals, use tools like the HAPI FHIR server for testing, and gradually expand to more complex integrations.
