Introduction to FHIR
summary
FHIR positions itself as the modern API of healthcare, started in 2011 and reached a normative R4 release in Dec 2018, built from web tech and tested via DSTUs with implementer feedback. It defines reusable resources (JSON/XML), supports REST, messaging and operations, and uses an 80% rule plus extensions for local needs. Tooling includes HAPI, .NET and JavaScript libraries, simplifier.net for implementation guides, and community channels like chat.fhir.org; implementation guides are the mechanism that actually achieves interoperability.
