HL7 FHIR

Meaning

HL7 FHIR, which stands for Health Level Seven Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, is a modern, standard framework for exchanging electronic health information between different healthcare systems, applications, and devices. It provides a flexible, internet-based approach to data exchange, utilizing a set of “resources” that represent granular clinical and administrative concepts, such as medications, lab results, and patient demographics. In the hormonal health space, FHIR facilitates the seamless sharing of patient endocrine profiles, including hormone levels and treatment regimens, across various clinical platforms. This enhanced interoperability is crucial for coordinated and efficient patient care.
