FHIR is a standard developed by HL7 that solves the problem of interoperability between disparate healthcare systems (EHRs, labs, pharmacies). It achieves this by defining common elements like patient information into standardized data structures called Resources, aiming for efficient and integrated care.
The Australian Digital Health Agency (AdHA), in partnership with HL7 Australia, launched 'FHIRside,' a new forum. This initiative aims to accelerate the implementation of FHIR standards by bringing together developers and implementers to solve real-world challenges.
The Australian Digital Health Agency (Agency) and HL7 Australia have launched 'FHIRside,' a new forum designed to bring together developers and implementers. This initiative provides an opportunity for healthcare technology professionals to accelerate the implementation of FHIR standards and tackle real-world challenges.
A development team addressed the complex task of updating patient data across multiple regions and environments by moving beyond simple scripts to design a robust, scalable pipeline architecture. This solution ensures efficient batch processing while maintaining stability and data integrity when interacting with various FHIR servers.
This standard provides guidance for developers of health ICT systems on how to combine multiple international standards, including HL7 FHIR and ISO 13940, ISO 13606-1/3. It defines mappings between these complementary data models.
The EU's 'European Health Data Space (EHDS)' aims to enable the use of medical data across member states, but its realization critically depends on data compatibility. Standardization and implementation are being driven by specialized centers in Germany.
Australia is accelerating its digital health transformation with a focus on interoperability. The Australian Digital Health Agency has launched refreshed training courses utilizing FHIR to enhance the skills of healthcare professionals and developers.
