HL7 FHIR
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources
FHIR is the modern HL7 standard for exchanging healthcare data between systems, built on ordinary web APIs and structured as discrete resources — a patient, an observation, an encounter.
Why it matters
It is what makes an integration a project rather than an expedition. Where a system speaks FHIR, connecting to it is standard engineering; where it does not, someone has to build an interface.

HL7 FHIR in practice, not just in theory.
We build and run these programmes. If you want to know what this looks like in a real clinic rather than a definition, ask.
