Description
FHIR is attracting a great deal of attention as the next “great thing” in healthcare interoperability. This course will help participants understand where and how FHIR might fit into their healthcare interoperability environment and give them the tools to make judgments about when or if FHIR might be an appropriate solution for their healthcare IT needs.This online education track will include the following:
Session 1 – REST, document, messaging and services interoperability paradigms; FHIR Architecture approaches
Session 2 – FHIR features impacting solution design
Session 3 – Additional considerations, Profiles and adoption strategies
This Series Will Benefit:
- CIOs
- Architects
- Development Leads
- Anyone who is interested in exploring the various architectural options available to FHIR based interoperability solutions
Upon Completion of This Track Students Will Be Able to:
- Explain how FHIR may be used in different interoperability paradigms
- Describe how FHIR can fit in different locations in the architectural stack
- Identify architectural considerations that apply to FHIR and determine how best to address those in their own FHIR solutions
- Provide an explanation of the use of FHIR for persistence, decision support and other “non-exchange” purposes
- Give guidance on if, when and how FHIR might be used within their own organization
- Ezplain how FHIR solutions can co-exist with and interoperate with other interoperability solutions (v2, CDA, v3, DICOM and OpenEHR)
