HL7 FHIR

HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a standard that simplifies how different healthcare systems share and access medical information. Think of it like a universal language for doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers, enabling them to exchange patient data securely and efficiently. FHIR structures data into small, manageable pieces called resources, making it easier to retrieve, update, and understand information like patient records, lab results, or appointments. This standard helps improve the quality of care by ensuring accurate, timely, and consistent communication across healthcare organizations.
