Interoperable

The iEHR platform leverages the FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard to store and manage healthcare data, providing a wide range of benefits that enhance system interoperability and future readiness.

iEHR system overview

Why FHIR®?​

Adopting the FHIR® standard for healthcare data management offers key advantages:

1. Interoperability​

  • As more healthcare partners adopt FHIR® APIs to expose their data, storing your data according to the FHIR® specification ensures seamless integration and compatibility.
  • It facilitates real-time data sharing, allowing for smooth collaboration with multiple partners and systems.

2. Future Proofing​

  • The healthcare ecosystem is inherently complex and fragmented, often resulting in costly and time-consuming data migrations.
  • FHIR® addresses many of these challenges by providing a standardized framework, helping teams avoid backend rewrites and ensuring scalability for future requirements.
  • By leveraging FHIR®, organizations can adapt to evolving industry standards without major disruptions.

Although FHIR® is powerful, it can present a learning curve for new users. Understanding its basic concepts is crucial for maximizing its potential within the iEHR platform. Key considerations include:

  • Familiarity with FHIR® resources like Patient, Observation, and Encounter.
  • Mapping existing healthcare data to the standardized FHIR® schema.
  • Using FHIR® APIs to integrate with external systems.

For further guidance, refer to the official FHIR® documentation.
