Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) defines a set of "resources" for health. These resources represent granular clinical concepts that can be exchanged in order to quickly and effectively solve problems in healthcare and related process. The resources cover the basic elements of healthcare - patients, admissions, diagnostic reports, medications, and problem lists, with their typical participants, and also support a range of richer and more complex clinical models. The simple direct definitions of the resources are based on thorough requirements gathering, formal analysis and extensive cross-mapping to other relevant standards. |
This is the default landing page for FHIR.
The exact license applicable to FHIR is still under deliberation. The FHIR content will remain © HL7.org, and will be free for use by any implementers, irrespective of whether they are HL7 members or not. There will be no IP encumbrance from HL7. This will be true up until the first normative ballot is passed - the first normative edition of FHIR will continue to be free. HL7 is able to review this policy with regard to subsequent versions after adoption experience has been gained.
