Applications asserting conformance to this framework claim to be conformant to "FHIR messaging" (see Conformance). In FHIR messaging, a "message" is sent from a source application to a destination application when an event happens. Events mostly correspond to things that happen in the real-world.

HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, 2014): A next-generation standard developed by HL7 for exchanging healthcare information. FHIR is designed to leverage modern web technologies such as RESTful APIs, JSON, and XML, making it scalable, lightweight, and easy to implement.

@prefix fhir: <http://hl7.org/fhir/> . [ a fhir:MessageHeader; fhir:nodeRole fhir:treeRoot; # if this is the parser root # from Resource: .id, .meta, .implicitRules, and .language # from DomainResource: .text, .contained, .extension, and .modifierExtension # event[x]: 1..1 Event code or link to EventDefinition.

These batch examples show the messages with File/Batch Header/Footers. In past times these were commonly sent to some IIS as they were required by a large minority of the IIS. However these segments were mostly superfluous for real-time exchange and so have been dropped from all, or nearly all IIS.

Nov 7, 2022 · HL7 v2 is event-driven, producing specific message types with multiple data segments for clinical events, whereas FHIR uses modern web services and RESTful APIs to represent data in smaller, logical units called resources.

May 3, 2015 · Each scenario details the HL7 v2.x message, and its functional equivalent in FHIR. The whitepaper aims to show some the differences as well as similarities between example v2.x and FHIR resource instances.

Feb 1, 2023 · FHIR is an innovative healthcare standard that summarizes strong points, fills gaps in previous HL7 standards, and employs existing web technologies that simplify its implementation.

Sep 8, 2020 · HL7 devises flexible message formats so the receiver of the message can open it up, know who sent it and why, and break it down into understandable segments and data fields. Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems vendors such as Allscripts, Cerner and Epic, are already rapidly adopting FHIR.

Dec 1, 2021 · FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a newer standard developed by HL7 that uses a web-based approach to connect healthcare elements. Unlike traditional HL7, FHIR uses APIs and communicates via HTTPS RESTful …

Feb 22, 2024 · Two major standards for exchanging healthcare information electronically are Health Level 7 (HL7) and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Both play important roles in healthcare interoperability, but have key differences.
