The National Center for Health Information Systems (CENS) of Chile has reopened enrollment for two key digital health courses: “Health Information Systems and Interoperability” and “HL7 FHIR: Principles and Fundamentals.” These programs aim to equip participants with knowledge necessary to address modern healthcare system challenges and achieve more connected, safe care.
Successful FHIR implementation requires a combination of healthcare domain knowledge, interoperability engineering, and system-level architecture expertise. It is not merely an interface development task but aims to build a governed interoperability layer supporting clinical workflows and regulatory compliance.
Colombia is developing a digital medical record called 'Resumen Digital de Atención en Salud (RDA)' based on FHIR (HL7 FHIR Standard). This system standardizes observation results, such as illnesses or periods of leave, providing a foundation for electronic health information exchange.
AWS announced Amazon Connect Health, an agentic AI service that autonomously performs multi-step tasks like clinical documentation and patient insights directly at the point of care. This helps clinicians reclaim time spent on administrative work for direct patient care.
ProtocolMiner, developed by MITRE Corporation, demonstrated the ability to automatically extract 'Schedules of Activities (SoA)' from legacy clinical trial protocols and transform them into interoperable digital formats like FHIR and USDM. This enables high-fidelity extraction of complex study design information from traditional documents.
SoftServe and AdvancedMD discussed the business benefits of adopting FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) in a webinar. Highlights included how using healthcare APIs with API management and FHIR certification helped AdvancedMD improve partner engagement by leveraging existing data.
This study proposes a method to predict the risk of 30-day hospital readmission in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) by utilizing interoperable Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) data and an explainable machine learning model. The analysis was conducted using de-identified FHIR-mapped data from 14,250 SNF residents, incorporating medication, vital signs, functional status, and social risk indicators.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is accelerating the transition away from legacy systems in product lifecycle management. By 2026, product data management must shift toward a structured 'Digital Twin' model based on FHIR standards.
The HAPI FHIR Validator HTTP service, which has an unauthenticated endpoint (/loadIG) that sends outbound HTTP requests, can be exploited. This flaw, combined with a startsWith() URL prefix matching vulnerability in the credential provider, allows attackers to steal authentication tokens (Bearer, Basic, API keys) configured for legitimate FHIR servers.
The article addresses complex data integration challenges in healthcare, advocating a 'contracts-first' approach. It aims to reduce operational risk and build reliable pipelines by implementing data quality assurance (DQ) and schema evolution management.
The Google Cloud Healthcare API provides tools to handle FHIR resources, enhancing healthcare data interoperability within the Google Cloud environment. It also enables integration with public medical research APIs like PubMed.
HL7 Korea provides information regarding the search functionality for the KR Core Implementation Guide (current build). This guide serves as a technical specification focused on specific healthcare topics.
ABDM has launched the 'ABDM FHIR Terminology Service,' a standards-compliant FHIR terminology API. This service aims to simplify the management of ABDM CodeSystems and ValueSets, accelerating the certification process for healthcare developers.
When mid-market hospitals integrate EHR and claims data, simple technical pipelines are insufficient. This article explains a governance-first approach using Databricks that embeds 'consent' and the 'Minimum Necessary' standard into the data collection and usage stages, adhering to regulations like HIPAA.
The FHIR Validator service in HAPI FHIR has an unauthenticated endpoint that accepts external URLs, allowing attackers to exploit it and steal authentication tokens configured for legitimate FHIR servers. This vulnerability poses a serious risk leading to supply chain attacks and potential leakage of sensitive clinical data.
AmericaWest Medical Transportation launched its non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services as a SMART on FHIR app. This allows affiliated health systems to schedule and manage patient transport directly within the Epic Electronic Health Record, significantly improving operational efficiency.
HealthLX announced a strategic partnership with Health Samurai, delivering an integrated interoperability platform designed to help payers and providers meet CMS regulatory requirements. The solution enables the use of FHIR-based APIs to address challenges in prior authorization workflows and data exchange.
