Accelerating Research and Care with Global FHIR Interoperability: HL7 Vulcan's Initiatives
Projects – HL7 Vulcan HL7 Vulcan Bridging Research and Care
HL7 is advancing global interoperability standards by integrating healthcare, research, and regulatory data using FHIR.
Summary
HL7 Vulcan aims to eliminate silos in healthcare and research data by leveraging FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). This effort facilitates accelerated research, streamlines workflows, and improves patient access to information using clinical and real-world data.
Key Players
Details
HL7 Vulcan brings together global communities—including healthcare, research, regulatory, and technology sectors—to solve real-world interoperability challenges. Their projects focus on developing and adopting FHIR Implementation Guides (IGs) to simplify data sharing across organizations and countries. This initiative addresses the problem of enormous amounts of clinical and research data being locked in silos. By building on HL7 FHIR, they enable the use of real-world data in clinical trials and streamline industry workflows. Specific projects include API Exchange for Medicinal Products (APIX), Adverse Events (AE), and Electronic Product Information (ePI), all aiming for internationally harmonized standards. Furthermore, initiatives like Phenomics Exchange facilitate structured exchange of phenotypic information, while the FHIR to OMOP collaboration enhances research quality and efficiency. Vulcan guides this process from initial use case proposal through development and adoption, shaping the future of global healthcare interoperability.
