Latest in HL7 interoperability: Architecture frameworks and FHIR

This event will provide an overview of the latest HL7 developments in e-health interoperability. It will begin by discussing key aspects of the HL7 Service Aware Interoperability Framework (SAIF) and subsequent developments in Australia.

Program
This initial discussion will provide context for positioning the new HL7 standardisation effort, known as Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR). FHIR has been gaining significant momentum over the last few years due to its implementation-friendly approach, making use of the latest REST technologies used in the development of web and mobile applications. These technologies are applied to represent a rich clinical knowledge base, captured in the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) and terminology bindings. 

The key FHIR construct is a Resource, which can be encoded using either XML or JSON, and is used to represent clinical concepts such as Procedure, Condition, Medication and Care Plan, administrative concepts such as Appointment, Order, Device, and Supply, Infrastructure Resources such as Media, Composition, and Conformance, and financial concepts such as, Claim and Payment Notice. 

The talk will provide a brief introduction to the FHIR architecture approach, describe full categorisation of these Resources and provide some resource examples. Finally, the talk will discuss the status of FHIR development.
