2023 HL7 ® FHIR ® DevDays in Amsterdam stood out in a few ways, and in case you weren’t able to make it to the event, here’s your chance to digest the newly uploaded session recordings. These sessions highlighted two crucial truths about FHIR capabilities and adoption. In the meantime, check out our latest FHIR content below.

Create a competitive advantage in the future of healthcare What is a FHIR data store? A FHIR data store is a clinical data repository (CDR) that aggregates and stores healthcare data (demographics, results, images, admissions, transfers, diagnosis, etc.) FHIR is easily shared across systems. FHIR is human-readable.

In this set of posts we’re going to dig into how FHIR supports the use of forms in collecting information. . Forms are ubiquitous in healthcare (and other domains for that matter) so it makes sense that there is some specific support in FHIR for them. StructureMap is based on the FHIR Mapping language to perform the extraction.

They also have mature testing tools, events, and have been specialized for many projects. The solution is to leverage this existing solution, and just add FHIR.

IHE IT-Infrastructure has agreed to start a new work item on the topic of Privacy Consent, using FHIR. This minimally would be a re-evaluation of the use-cases in BPPC for use with FHIR Consent, but likely will go beyond that scope simply because of modern needs, modern toolings, and ease at which the FHIR Consent can support them.

Last week was the biggest event/spectacle in health IT, the “World’s Fair of Healthcare”, also known as HIMSS. I am a HIMSS newbie, so the size and scope seemed huge, even overwhelming at times, but veterans noted a noticeable temperance to this year’s event. Overall, HIMSS was a “win” for me and for Redox this year.

As FHIR continues to mature, one of the things we’re seeing is a move away from ‘simple’ data representation Implementation Guides to more complex ones that describe a workflow of some sort.

It is better to put pointers (to FHIR Servers) onto the chain. Thus there will be many FHIR Servers that hold your data (might be others than FHIR, but why bother mentioning them). However probably best to presume many FHIR servers. permissioned chains, or encrypted, etc). So pointers are good, data are bad.
