HL7 FHIR Basisprofile DE | INA - Interoperabilitäts-Navigator
Summary
This article explains the FHIR standard, developed by HL7 International. The standard aims to facilitate data exchange between software systems in healthcare by utilizing modular 'Resources' to define data elements and relationships across various contexts.
Details
FHIR combines the advantages of established standards like Version 2, Version 3, and CDA from HL7 with modern web technologies. Its key strengths lie in its high flexibility and extensibility. The standard allows resources to be adapted using 'Profiles' for specific use cases or jurisdictions, meeting concrete requirements. Furthermore, FHIR supports easy extension of resources and data types through 'Extensions,' enabling global deployment across diverse healthcare settings. A dedicated conformance framework is provided, allowing the implementation scope to be defined and validated in a machine-readable format. This information (Version 1.3.2), provided by HL7 Deutschland e.V., includes links to concrete implementation guides and related packages, making it valuable for standardizing data exchange and supporting practical adoption in healthcare IT.
