Summary

Many healthcare provider organizations offer standard HL7 FHIR APIs that allow patients to download their own chart records. This provides a global mechanism for data sharing.

Details

Multiple healthcare provider organizations are establishing environments where patients can directly download their electronic health record (chart records) using standardized HL7 FHIR APIs. The use of these APIs allows individuals to manage and access their personal health data through various applications. This is significant because it provides a global, standard mechanism for handling not just simple data sharing, but 'all other personal data.' FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) functions as an internationally recognized global standard, serving as the common language for exchanging medical information. This ensures interoperability of data across different systems and regions, thereby promoting patient-centered data management.
