Details
The Australian Digital Health Agency has refreshed its training program to accelerate the adoption of the FHIR standard across Australia's healthcare sector. Delivered in collaboration with HL7 Australia, the updated curriculum features four new courses targeting developers, project managers, and administrators. FHIR is an international standard from HL7 for the electronic exchange of healthcare data, organizing health information into modular components to support secure and efficient sharing. This capability is crucial as Australia transitions its My Health Record system to FHIR. The Agency continues to fully fund this training, with over 1,000 participants having already completed the courses. Experts highlight that the new approach combines self-paced online learning with expert-led practical group sessions, making upskilling accessible for busy professionals. The course suite covers diverse areas, including technical fundamentals and migration solutions (e.g., 'Making the switch from HL7 V2 to HL7 FHIR'), ensuring that the entire digital health workforce can gain necessary skills to support Australia's evolving interoperability needs.
