In the era of digitalization, health information interoperability is crucial. Currently, many existing health information systems (SIK) operate in isolation ('silos'), making data sharing difficult. This leads to fragmented patient records, resulting in redundant services and high administrative costs. To address this, the Indonesian Ministry of Health launched 'SatuSehat,' a national data integration platform. This platform acts as a hub connecting all healthcare facilities (such as Puskesmas and hospitals). When exchanging data, these facilities are mandated to adopt the HL7-FHIR standard. This ensures that regardless of the specific system used at each facility, the exchanged data format and type maintain consistency, thereby ensuring nationwide data usability.
