FHIR is the modern healthcare data standard for interoperability. It defines RESTful APIs and JSON/XML schemas for clinical data (patients, observations, medications, encounters). Replacing older HL7 v2 (fragile text-based format) with web-friendly standards. FHIR adoption = mandatory for health tech startups and existing healthcare providers. Senior FHIR architects earn $80-140k because they bridge disparate EHR systems and enable data portability. Learning the essentials takes 4-6 weeks; integration varies by use case. The skill is non-negotiable for healthcare tech.

Kí ni FHIR HL7 Standards

FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is the modern standard for healthcare data exchange. It provides RESTful APIs and structured data formats (JSON, XML) for clinical information: patients, medical observations, medications, encounters, practitioners, organizations. FHIR is replacing HL7 v2 (text-based, error-prone) with web-friendly standards. SMART on FHIR extends FHIR with OAuth 2.0 authentication, enabling third-party apps to request patient data with explicit consent. Think: "Login with your EHR" for healthcare apps.

What's the difference between FHIR and HL7 v2?

HL7 v2 is text-based, fragile, requires custom parsing. FHIR is REST + JSON, modern, standardized. FHIR is replacing HL7 v2 industry-wide. HL7 v2 still in legacy systems (won't disappear for 10+ years).

What's a FHIR 'resource' and how many are there?

A resource is a clinical entity (Patient, Observation, Medication, Encounter). 150+ official resources. Each has a defined structure (fields, data types). Start with core: Patient, Observation, Practitioner, Organization.

How do I authenticate against a FHIR API?

SMART on FHIR: OAuth 2.0. App requests access, user grants permission, app gets access token. Token used for API calls. Security model matches Google/GitHub APIs.

Can I use FHIR with existing EHRs (Epic, Cerner)?

Yes, Epic and Cerner have FHIR APIs. Not all data exposed yet (some legacy reasons). Query for available resources, build integrations around what's available. Roadmaps expanding.

What's the learning curve for building FHIR apps?

Reading + understanding spec: 2 weeks. Building first app: 4-6 weeks. Complex multi-resource integration: 12+ weeks. Complexity = data depth, not technology difficulty.
