Introduction to FHIR
summary
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) maps healthcare data to ~150 object-like resources (Patient, Condition, etc.), exposes them via a REST API, and favors reuse of web tooling; it targets an 80% solution and leaves country‑specific fields to extensions. Releases have mixed maturity—many core resources are normative since R4 while R5 adds others—there are machine‑readable implementation guides, version transform scripts to convert between releases, and a capabilityStatement resource to advertise a server’s FHIR version.
