Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare across various fields, including diagnostic support and bed management. This transformation relies fundamentally on data linkage (interoperability) based on standards like HL7 FHIR.
Real Hospital Português, with the support of technology partner Sensedia, implemented an advanced interoperability system based on HL7 FHIR standards between itself and Recife's public health network. This enables safe, structured exchange of patient information, contributing to improved healthcare delivery.
This study developed a prenatal monitoring information model to improve the quality of antenatal care in Brazil's primary healthcare setting. Using Design Science Research (DSR), it extracted concepts from use cases, ensuring interoperability based on the FHIR R4 standard for multi-disciplinary teams.
Data interoperability enables the sharing of information among different healthcare providers, such as hospitals and clinics. This allows electronic medical records and test results to circulate smoothly, ensuring that patient care is continuous, rapid, and safe.
Hospital das Clínicas (HC) is strengthening data linkage through OpenCare Interop to address the long-standing issue of fragmented patient information. The system aims to safely share electronic health record data using AI, based on the HL7 FHIR standard, enabling all healthcare providers to have a comprehensive view.
The Brazilian National Agency of Supplementary Health (ANS) plans to conduct a custom course using FHIR to perform technical and strategic evaluations. This contract, governed by federal law, is intended for up to 15 participants.
Brazil's ANVISA signed a contract for the electronic Common Technical Document (e-CTD). This enables drug applications using formats utilized by major global regulatory agencies, which is expected to accelerate technical analysis.
The health authorities of Goiás, Brazil, won the 'Health Excellence Award' from Grupo Mídia. This achievement reflects the state's successful investment in technological innovation and data management, particularly highlighted by the implementation of electronic medical records (Meu PEP) using FHIR.
The SES-GO in Brazil has released version 0.1.2 of its 'Security' implementation guide, based on FHIR 4.0.1. This update provides specifications and definitions in multiple formats, facilitating system integration for developers.
An interoperability project implemented in São Paulo, Brazil, connected over 370 healthcare units in real-time. This model serves as a national pilot case demonstrating how technology can radically improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety across the entire Unified Health System (SUS).
The Dasa IT Director discussed the potential of using technology to reduce outpatient visits to 30 minutes. He identified data fragmentation and lack of system interoperability as major obstacles, proposing solutions involving FHIR protocols and AI utilization.
This publication aims to provide understanding of health data interoperability based on the FHIR standard. The e-book comprehensively covers everything from basic concepts of FHIR to its practical application in healthcare information modeling.
In Brazil, the lack of integrated data sharing among hospitals and operators is compromising operational efficiency and patient care quality. Experts emphasize that solving this issue is crucial for the sustainability of the entire healthcare system.
