This article provides a detailed technical explanation of the 'Validation' process within FHIR for medical data exchange. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring submitted files comply with standards and Implementation Guides (IG), comparing various tools like Validator, Inferno, and YAFVA in the process.
Ensuring interoperability is essential in modern healthcare. Specifically, FHIR data mapping is crucial for converting legacy HL7 communications into patient-centric workflows. The article explains the necessity of clinical data standards, the characteristics of both HL7 and FHIR, and practical mapping processes.
This article discusses the necessity of ensuring data compatibility for successful telemedicine apps. It states that adopting standardized formats like HL7 and FHIR, along with API integration and data mapping, can achieve seamless data exchange between systems.
This systematic review examines semantics-driven approaches to improve the data quality of Electronic Health Records (EHR). It highlights that utilizing standardized vocabularies and knowledge graphs is crucial, moving beyond simple NLP techniques.
This article explains the 'vRead' operation, which allows requesting a specific version of an FHIR resource. By including a version string in the URL, users can access historical data using the format: `[baseUrl]/[resourceType]/[id]/_history/[versionId]`.
Outcome offers the ability to generate CCDA documents from HL7 FHIR bundles. This capability is specifically targeted towards EHR systems that rely on IHE transactions for data exchange.
This study proposes an approach to ensure data quality when transforming Real-World Data (RWD) from EHRs and registries into analyzable formats. Specifically, it introduces a data completeness assessment pipeline that validates the process across multiple transformation stages involving HL7 FHIR.
An implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrates with a FHIR server, providing tools to create and read specific medical resources (such as Patient or Appointment). This serves as a quick prototyping example demonstrating MCP and FHIR integration.
Outcome Healthcare ensures that data entering the HIE platform undergoes quality checks, error handling, and processing. This process guarantees that every transaction is ingested with a full audit trail for tracking.
iEHR has developed Fiscus, a solution built on HL7 FHIR to support workflows for billing, payments, and coverage. This bridges the gap between clinical and financial systems, ensuring transparent and efficient revenue cycle management.
This article details the concepts of 'Implementation Guide (IG)' and 'Profile' provided by HL7 FHIR, which are crucial for standardizing data exchange in healthcare. It uses examples like insurance claims to emphasize the necessity of common standards.
iEHR Scriptus provides electronic prescribing (ePrescription) and dispensing (eDispense) services to ensure safe and efficient medication processes. This system achieves cross-border data continuity within the EU, moving beyond local systems toward patient-centered care.
HL7 has released the code system 'Blood Product Code' which specifies types of blood products. This concept is used in the BLC segment of HL7 Version 2 messages, contributing to improved interoperability of blood product information in healthcare institutions.
This program aims for participants to build five practical applications utilizing FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) over a period of 10 weeks. It focuses on acquiring broad technical skills required in the industry, such as patient apps and SMART on FHIR integrations with Epic/Cerner.
iEHR Maestro is an integrated digital health platform that combines AI-driven automation with FHIR-native design. It enables healthcare organizations to streamline clinical operations and achieve data-driven decision-making without relying on manual processes or outdated systems.
Driven by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), pharmaceutical product information is undergoing a structured transition into Electronic Product Information (ePI) using FHIR format. This aims to transform conventional unstructured documents into highly searchable, interoperable digital data, promoting safer use of medicine.
Health Level Seven International (HL7) has developed a new standard called "FHIR"ยฎ (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). This standard aims to facilitate electronic health record data exchange, combining the benefits of established HL7 versions 2 and CDA with modern web standards and focusing on easy implementation.
