This time, I’ll be discussing our capabilities to translate between HL7 ® v2 and HL7 ® FHIR ® —a reoccurring challenge for many of our customers. However, modern technology shops want everything in FHIR. Let’s dive in. What does HL7 v2 do?

There have been public statements from ONC and to extent from the Sequoia Project that TEFCA will be modernized to computable data – i.e. FHIR data. FHIR has been around for over 10 years so it is worth pondering why it was not incorporated into TEFCA from the start. Of course, the big question is, what is the public benefit?

Before we start thinking of the specifics of coding in lab tests, a quick review of coded data in FHIR in general is probably a good idea. We sometimes call this ‘semantic’ interoperability. This is a common pattern in the FHIR core spec. Any by ‘anyone’ we also mean a computerized system – not just a human.

XDS Profile found in the FHIR specification: I would caution against the use of the xds profile in FHIR. So the only thing you will find there is minimal fixes to cause the FHIR specification to build. This means that the xds profile in FHIR might be right, but it might not. These mappings are pretty direct.

Of note, the XCPD, XCA, and XDR profiles do not currently support FHIR natively.
