HL7 FHIRFast Healthcare Interoperability Resources
What is 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 programs. If you want to know what this looks like in a real clinic rather than a definition, ask.
