FHIR 101: Opportunities to Improve Interoperability across Health Centers

HITEQ Highlights Webinar

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is an HL7® standard for electronic healthcare data exchange. This next generation exchange architecture is advancing interoperability in healthcare. FHIR provides a standard way to express and share information across health centers, providers, and related organizations independent of how local EHRs display or store data. For UDS+ and other information exchange needs, all health centers, PCAs, and HCCNs will want to be familiar with the basics of the HL7 FHIR standard. In this session we discussed what FHIR is, what it basically does, how it impacts your EHR, and what it might mean to your health center and patients.
