FHIR + HL7 Magic: Elevate Your Healthcare Apps and Data
latest healthcare providers depend on a vast network of partners and a diverse range of apps and data
A set of international standards called Health Level Seven (HL7) was created to address this issue. A group of technology and healthcare professionals called Health Level Seven International developed the standards,
The FHIR protocol establishes guidelines for the interchange of healthcare data, encompassing the transfer of medical records across various computer systems, irrespective of their storage type
Even if a patient uses many plans (many payers utilizing numerous EHRs) and sees multiple physicians in various healthcare organizations, FHIR makes it easier for them to manage their treatment
FHIR employs popular web standards including RESTful APIs, XML, JSON, and HTTP and pulls on earlier standards like HL7 Version 2 (V2) and HL7 Version 3 (V3)
Organizations should switch to FHIR to take advantage of the new approach for health information data interchange, even if it is compatible with HL7 V2 and CDA standards
Without requiring the rewriting of current programs, IBM App Connect can convert HL7 to FHIR in both directions. It can transfer medical records between systems, including an EHR functioning as an FHIR server
