FHIR data in existing Nationwide Health Information Exchange
Healthcare Exchange Standards
AUGUST 10, 2021
The solution is to leverage this existing solution, and just add FHIR. This model is used at the state level, and has three flavors at the national level, with interoperability between them. My point in this article is that this does not need to be a restriction on those that do want to move on to FHIR.

Healthcare Exchange Standards
NOVEMBER 28, 2017
I think the most useful value-add that an HIE can add is an API that is based on FHIR.
