Understanding and Using Terminology in HL7® FHIR®

Terminology is a required foundational component for interoperable data exchange in HL7 FHIR and other clinical data standards.

This online class takes an in-depth look at the use of standard terminologies within FHIR artifacts (data types, resources, profiles, etc.). The structures and use of the primary FHIR terminology resources, operations and coded data types are covered, including how these terminology artifacts and capabilities are used in support of coded elements in other FHIR resources and profiles. 

The class will also discuss how terminology content and capabilities are made accessible and usable within a FHIR terminology service.
