Introduction

• In the advanced process of improving patient
  outcomes, data plays a major role in the
  healthcare industry.
• There is a big deeper concept to consider here
  when it comes to HL7 Vs FHIR standards.
• Understanding the basic differences can help
  improve your organization in terms of workflow
  and productivity.

What Is HL7?

• HL7 (Health Level Seven)
• a set of international data-sharing standards
  popularized by Health Level Seven International,
  a non-profit organization focused on healthcare
  interoperability.

5
Importance Of HL7 V2

• Initially released in 1989, HL7 V2 got quite
  possibly the most generally implemented
  healthcare standards across the globe.
• As per HL7, the majority of U.S. medical
  organizations today utilize a version of this
  standard.
• HL7 V2 works by giving a language to communicate
  among systems, like EMR systems, healthcare
  information systems, billing systems, and more

6
What Is FHIR?

• In 2014, HL7 introduced an important alternative
  to HL7 V2 and V3 standards the Fast Healthcare
  Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard.
• FHIR was developed to not only improve
  interoperability and enhance the efficiency of
  communication but also streamline implementation
  compared with previous standards. 

7
Why FHIR Is So Powerful Than HL7?

• FHIR builds on previous standards, including HL7
  V2, HL7 V3, and CDA (Clinical Document
  Architecturepart of HL7 V3).
• But unlike those other standards, FHIR employs
  RESTful web services and open web technologies,
  including not only XML (used by previous
  standards) but also JSON and RDF data formats.

FHIR Implementation Challenges

• The Adoption is going to be slow  We all know
  HL7 has been a widely accepted healthcare
  information sharing standard for decades, but
  FHIR is still young and dynamic.
• The cost of adoption For large-sized healthcare
  organizations, the cost of adoption like to be
  complex.
• Potential threats for vendors Some health IT
  vendors could be compromised by the capacity of
  FHIR to minimize the deployment times like common
  health records which reduces revenue.

9
Conclusion

• The implementation of FHIR creates an advanced
  way for integration and better interoperability
  by opening up new opportunities in mobile health
  applications and cloud communications.
• By providing EHRs the right ability to interact
  with each other, FHIR has emerged as the basic
  building block for improved patient care.

How To Get Started With FHIR?

• Today, most healthcare organizations are very
  eager to adapt to the new technologies and
  standards across their EHR spending.
