It’s a common thing for implementers to want to do with FHIR: connect to a FHIR server, and make a local copy of the information provided by the server, and then check back occasionally with the server for updates – that is, new resources, or changes to existing resources. (In “I never took X”).
On a forum for FHIR Foundation members, I raised the subject of where FHIR is on the Gartner Hype Cycle (see Gartner write up , or Wikipedia ). FHIR Foundation member Wes Rishel ( @wrishel ), who’s a FHIR user, and also was a Gartner Analyst before he retired, graciously made this contribution that I could post here.
The definition of “digital health” has not been set in stone (don’t we know it!) ” OECD found that over 90% of the countries studied reported introducing legislation to require standards for interoperability, and (wonk-alert) with two-thirds adopting HL7-FHIR, and 42% adopting SMART on FHIR.
Much has been written about Larry Ellison’s vision of what he called a “National EHR Database.” To be clear, I’m not sure if this was Ellison’s goal with a “National EHR Database” or not. The second group to benefit from this National EHR Database was public health.

If you are in the USA, sign up for the tutorial at FHIR Dev Days.
Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) has been busy creating Profiles that leverage the new and exciting FHIR specification. IHE publishes their profiles on [link] IHE subset of Profile on FHIR can be found on the IHE wiki FHIR list An IHE Profile is equivalent to a FHIR Implementation Guide.
We should definitely have one eye on the horizon, in a world where all data in healthcare is freely flowing between all parties who need access. However, rather than jump from fax all the way to electronic data exchange through FHIR or APIs, Turicchi suggests that we should leverage the inherent network effect that fax still enjoys. “We

Example Standards: FHIR + v2 (from HL7 ) Snomed CT LOINC DICOM (from NEMA ) etc (there’s 100+ organizations creating platform standards). Thing is, that’s what FHIR does too, and it’s very definitely a platform standard. They define how things can work. There’s lots of organizations working in this space.

Often vendors will assure you they can integrate with your EHR and workflows. Then the telemedicine solution is deployed and you discover the vendor’s version of integration is limited to their video platform, allowing you to launch a video consult from your EHR. Imagine that I’m an urgent care center physician and we use EHR System 1.
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.
IHE Connectathon did informal testing of Mobile access to Health Documents (aka #MHD - #XDS on #FHIR. MHD has a wide variety of deployment models, leveraging the simplicity of HTTP REST and the data model and interaction model defined in FHIR.

The symptom checker may be run by the user/patient or with the assistance of medical personnel, as symptoms are, by definition, known to the patient only.
Tagging all of the data in an EHR is non trivial, and there is not good advice on how to do that well, say nothing of how to do it without fail. I have been working on a new Implementation Guide from IHE on this topic - Patient Consent on FHIR (PCF). Why do I express this? It should be by the time they finish their comments.
Query Service HL7 PASS has produced a Service definition -- for what a Query might look like. Security Audit Log on FHIR The coolest thing to happen lately is that the HL7 FHIR project has take the same standards as above and created a RESTful resource out of them.

Second, Redox transforms the myriad of data specifications in use today—such as FHIR, HL7v2, CDA/CCD, X12, XML, custom CSVs—into a standard set of JSON data models. Every day, Redox processes millions of messages and thousands of HL7 feeds and EHR vendor API calls. Further, Redox ensures that data is normalized to standard value sets.
