FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)

FHIR, or Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, is a standard for sharing health information electronically. Developed by the health-tech community, it defines a set of specifications that allow different healthcare systems to communicate more easily and efficiently. FHIR uses modern web technologies to create a more user-friendly approach, enabling doctors, hospitals, and patients to access and exchange medical data securely. This enhances coordination of care, reduces errors, and improves overall health outcomes by ensuring vital information is available when and where it’s needed.
