FHIR and its Impact on Healthcare Data Management

 One of the major issues the healthcare industry face is the lack of interoperability among the healthcare systems to exchange and access information. This has kept not just the patients from accessing the required care but also, the healthcare providers and vendors from providing the appropriate care.

Thus, to solve this challenge and many more like it FHIR to facilitates interoperability between legacy healthcare systems, and allows third-party application developers to provide medical applications which can be easily integrated into existing systems.

What is FHIR?

• FHIR stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, a standard for exchanging health information electronically.

• Its resources can be combined and extended to support various use cases and scenarios, such as clinical care, research, public health, billing, etc.

• It is based on the concept of resources, which are modular and reusable components that represent different aspects of health data, such as patients, medications, observations, etc.

• It uses a modern web-based suite of API technology, including an HTTP-based RESTful protocol, and a choice of JSON, XML, or RDF for data representation.

• It describes data formats and elements (known as "resources") and an application programming interface (API) for exchanging electronic health records (EHR).

What is the Impact of FHIR on Healthcare Data Management?

• FHIR is a global open standard for health data storage, querying, and exchange that simplifies the process of assembling large health datasets for research and analytics.

• FHIR provides a robust, extensible data model with standardized semantics that all FHIR-compliant systems can use interchangeably. 

• Also, allows for interoperability among disparate electronic health record systems and other health data repositories.

• FHIR enables user-facing mobile and web-based applications to securely interact with health data through SMART on FHIR, opening a new range of possibilities for patient and provider access to protected health information (PHI).

• FHIR is supported by Azure Health Data Services, a suite of purpose-built technologies for PHI in the cloud that offers managed, enterprise-grade FHIR, DICOM, and MedTech services with high performance, low latency, and compliance requirements.

• FHIR empowers healthcare organizations to leverage the power of cloud computing for generating insights from real-world data.

• FHIR also helps improve patient and research outcomes and streamline health workloads.
