INTRODUCTION

• FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)
  is an essential key component to healthcare data
  sharing and interoperability in modern health IT.
  New to FHIR? Here is all you need to know about
  FHIR challenges, benefits, and the adoption of
  FHIR for data sharing.

3
What Is Data Sharing In Healthcare?

• The data sharing is defined as the process of
  sharing structured data via common resources or
  services in real-time.
• Collaboration through data sharing enables more
  dynamic information sharing for people in the
  health care sector.

4
What Is Data Sharing In Healthcare? (cont..)

• A simple example of such kind of information
  sharing is when a person/healthcare provider
  requests or updates information from another
  person/healthcare provider.
• This process allows multiple healthcare providers
  to collaborate on common information resources
  stored in one location, as opposed to message
  exchange where the same data is stored by senders
  and recipients of a message.

5
The Need For Healthcare Data Sharing

• In todays scenario, the need for healthcare data
  sharing across the nations is especially driven
  by needs related to
• More efficient data sharing and update of
  health-related information between health
  personnel
• Sharing of health and personal information
  between patient and healthcare software (for
  example, online patient portal) 

6
The Need For Healthcare Data Sharing (cont..)

• Data sharing is typically realized through an
  Application Programming Interface (API).
• You may already be aware of APIs and its
  importance.
• The term API simply refers to an interface to a
  data program where specific parts of it can be
  activated (run) from another data program through
  calls to the interface.

7
What Is FHIR?

• HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability
  Resources) is an open standard developed to meet
  the growing demands in todays healthcare market
  for flexible development of standard-based
  integrations and better support with modern
  technology such as mobile and cloud services.

8
Why FHIR Is Important?

• FHIR for data sharing When clinical framework
  exposes information to regular normalized APIs,
  it empowers other clinical frameworks,
  applications, to relate to a standard interface,
  regardless of which provider they use to retrieve
  the data.

This is autonomous of whether the buyer
application is inner or outer to the medical care
entertainer. This is independent of whether the
consumer application is internal or external to
the health care actor.
9
Why FHIR Is Important? (cont..)

• In todays healthcare marketplace, the available
  traditional standardization processes nearly take
  too long and often not flexible enough.
• But, FHIR enables easier, faster, and especially
  more flexible development of interfaces that also
  scales well.

The biggest advantage of FHIR is that it is very
easy for developers to use it. But to achieve
healthcare interoperability in long term, the
FHIR needs to be implemented correctly.

FHIR Adoption Rate For Data Sharing

• As per the recent report, there is a huge
  interest and increasing number of FHIR
  implementation for data sharing both nationally
  and internationally.
• The reason behind the increase in the FHIR
  adoption rate is the standard is easy to use and
  covers new communication needs related to data
  sharing ( for example mobile and cloud services
  technology).

11
FHIR Adoption Rate For Data Sharing (cont..)

• In countries like the US and UK, the health IT
  industry adopted FHIR early and has worked with
  the authorities to develop FHIR as a national
  standard for data sharing.
• We also see that major technology providers such
  as Apple, Google, Amazon, IBM, and others have
  gathered behind the health information exchange
  standard.

The Arrival Of FHIR Based Tools To Increase
Interoperability

• The arrival of FHIR-based technologies shows
  there is a smart approach to appropriately use
  FHIR and other different standards to increase
  patient data exchange and interoperability for
  clinical research.
• Most of the FHIR based tools were designed to
  make care more natural, more educated, and less
  divided for patients.

13
The Arrival Of FHIR Based Tools To Increase
Interoperability (cont..)

• Some of the tools like healthcare planning
  applications, data aggregators, and patient
  engagement tools offered to streamline
  interactions with providers and administrative
  staff, while the clinical decision support
  systems offered significant experiences to
  clinicians at the point of care.

14
Advantages Of FHIR

• FHIR delivers easy implementation and
  interoperability with a wider variety of systems
  and devices.
• It was designed with the idea of web and mobile
  technologies by taking full advantage of RESTful
  architecture and open internet standards.
• FHIR resources are structured with XML or JSON
  along with the predictable URLS for each
  resource, making them amazingly well disposed to
  web and mobile innovation.

15
Advantages Of FHIR (cont..)

• Adding FHIR is a natural progression to
  accomplish real-time views into rapidly changing
  data, such as patient treatments, care delivered,
  admissions, and resources utilized.
• FHIR extends both the types of data and also the
  ways that data can be utilized, shown, and
  queried within the care coordination platform.

All You Need To Know About FHIR Challenges With
Recent Versions

• There are still elements of FHIR version 4 that
  could change in the future.
• The evolution of FHIR has been perfectly well
  documented so that parties can follow its
  progress and its emerging growth and adapt to it
  as needed.
• While some healthcare organizations may be
  interested in implementing FHIR, it takes some
  time and effort to migrate existing systems.

17
All You Need To Know About FHIR Challenges With
Recent Versions (cont..)

• FHIR is worked to be entirely adaptable to
  specific use cases implying that a significant
  part of the information in the standard is
  optional.

While this is useful for applications where the
resource fields are not tracked or may not be
important. This includes a layer of
unpredictability when the information contract is
being spread out between parties, since data
consumers may require a portion of the optional
fields for their specific use case.

Data-Driven Healthcare Via FHIR enabled
Interoperability

• In todays healthcare sector, healthcare systems
  are using various clinical applications from
  different vendors.
• Most of them tend to prefer flexibility with
  other systems.
• To lighten that, Fast Healthcare Interoperability
  Resources (FHIR) created a set of rules on how
  health data is exchanged between clinical
  applications.

19
Data-Driven Healthcare Via FHIR enabled
Interoperability (cont..)

• It set up abilities that permit medical providers
  to get access to clinical healthcare data at the
  source of truth at the correct time in a
  normalized manner, setting off new chances to
  improve patient care.
• This kind of real-time access to the patients
  complete health data expands the opportunities
  for communication and workflow improvement.
