One of the key players in the healthcare insights arena is FHIR. Let’s break down what FHIR is and why it’s so crucial in achieving true healthcare interoperability.
What does FHIR stand for?
FHIR, pronounced, as you might have guessed, “fire,” stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. It’s an open standard developed by HL7 (Health Level Seven International), designed to facilitate the exchange of healthcare information in a standardized way. Think of it as a universal language that healthcare systems and applications can use to talk to each other.
