Standardizing FHIR Interfaces: Initiatives at KBV

Details

Maximilian Reith studied information technology in mechanical engineering. Previously, he worked at the Fraunhofer Institute IPK, researching and developing devices for practical machine learning applications in industrial settings. Since 2018, he has been employed by the KBV, where he is responsible for interoperability. His primary current task involves specifying FHIR interfaces. Specifically, he handles various FHIR resources used across different systems such as MIO (Medizinische Informatik Oberflächen), AWS, and VOS_SST. Reith aims to establish a common basis (KBV. Basis) for these differing FHIR implementations. This standardization effort is comprehensive, aiming not only for internal coordination within the KBV but also for ensuring cross-sectoral interoperability. The content details an expert's professional background and current technical contributions—the standardization of FHIR specifications—rather than announcing a specific policy or product release.
