Details
Two primary standards exist for exchanging clinical data between healthcare institutions: HL7 (v2) and FHIR. This article details the technical and operational differences between these two approaches, offering guidelines to solve specific challenges faced by small clinics. HL7 v2 is an event-driven messaging system (e.g., lab results or admission notifications), having been used for decades, structured using pipe-delimited segments. FHIR, conversely, defines clinical data as resources (Patient, Observation) and uses a query-based approach via RESTful APIs to retrieve data in formats like JSON. From a practical standpoint, HL7 v2 is highly reliable for integration with existing systems like labs and hospitals, fitting the
