Details
An HL7 global survey uncovers key drivers and persistent challenges influencing the adoption of FHIR. The findings indicate that FHIR adoption is primarily driven by innovation and regulatory requirements, with 52 respondents citing these as key factors. Diagnostic orders and reports are emerging as leading use cases in global healthcare projects, surpassing document exchange and referrals. This suggests broad industry engagement from EHR vendors, care providers, and app developers. However, significant barriers remain worldwide, including lack of FHIR knowledge, unclear benefits, and regulatory uncertainties. Furthermore, HL7 is actively working on developing FHIR accelerators related to medical devices and quality measures. These insights are crucial for understanding how global standards like FHIR can be implemented in diverse healthcare settings, such as those facing unique reimbursement or data governance structures.
