Digital health company Firely provides the necessary software and expertise to implement FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). Having been involved since the early stages of FHIR standardization, the company supports advanced data systems globally, including governments and hospitals.
CData has released a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to query FHIR data using natural language. This enables developers to access live FHIR data without needing SQL knowledge.
MedsEngine, a chronic disease management software provider, announced that medical practices using its Cholesterol and Type 2 Diabetes modules could generate up to $30,000 in additional annual revenue. This potential revenue is based on adherence to clinical guidelines and improved operational efficiency.
This article explains that APIs in healthcare function not merely as a connection layer, but as a 'core control layer' defining data structure and access control. It states that an approach based on FHIR standards achieves consistency and scalability in complex integrations, directly leading to business outcomes.
Despite bipartisan support for patient data ownership, healthcare interoperability remains elusive. The report analyzes structural and cultural barriers to semantic data sharing, proposing a strategic shift that treats data as infrastructure rather than merely connecting systems.
Apple has published a guide detailing the process for healthcare organizations to register FHIR API endpoints, based on their Electronic Health Record (EHR) system information. This allows developers to register organizational details and, after testing, provide services for secure healthcare data interoperability.
This document details the mapping specifications for the `ehealth-servicerequest` resource profile within the eHealth Infrastructure. It outlines how this resource maps to various industry standards, including HL7 v2, HL7 v3 (RIM), FiveWs patterns, and QUICK.
This article reveals the code structure of a 'SMART on FHIR Tutorial App' utilizing FHIR standards. The application features a basic web interface designed to display medical information such as patient names and medication lists.
Connecting to the FHIR Adapter using Oracle Integration requires multiple advanced security and authentication settings, including OAuth, SSL endpoints, and JWT assertions. These are mandatory steps for a client application to establish access to resource servers.
IHE has published a Resource Profile called 'Pain Severity Reported observation' based on FHIR R4. This defines the structure of observation data used in the Mobile Antepartum Summary, aiming to standardize information regarding pain severity.
Multiple major health IT events scheduled for 2026 have been announced. These include HL7 DevDays, focusing on FHIR, and Connectathons for validating IHE profiles, offering international platforms for standardization and demonstration.
Apple has published detailed procedures and technical requirements for healthcare organizations wishing to participate in 'Health Records.' Participation requires not only gathering EHR system information and creating a business account but also testing the FHIR API endpoint and undergoing review.
Smart Health announced SpeziLLM, a platform designed to efficiently run Large Language Models (LLMs) on edge devices. This aims to solve critical challenges in medical applications that handle Protected Health Information (PHI).
To resolve inconsistencies and inefficiencies in data between electronic health record (EHR) systems, the Health Level Seven International (HL7) group developed Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a next-generation standard. FHIR aims to improve patient care and operational efficiency by providing a mechanism that allows diverse healthcare apps and systems to exchange data seamlessly using modern web technologies.
This article provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on setting up a local development environment. It instructs users how to build an operational FHIR server within the InterSystems IRIS for Health Community using tools like VS Code and Docker, providing a practical foundation for API querying and script creation.
This article explains how the open-source Electronic Health Record system OpenEMR can achieve large-scale data interoperability by strategically applying modern standards like HL7 and FHIR. This ensures smooth data flow across healthcare platforms, supporting continuous care and regulatory compliance.
This project aims to streamline and digitize the entire hospital workflow, covering areas such as patient registration, appointments, billing, electronic medical records (EMR), and pharmacy. Its goal is to solve inefficient operational challenges, reduce costs, and enhance security.
