Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced "fire") is a draft standard describing data formats and elements (known as "resources") and an Application Programming Interface (API) for exchanging Electronic health records. The standard was created by the Health Level Seven International (HL7) health-care standards organization. FHIR builds on previous data format standards from HL7, like HL7 version 2.x and HL7 version 3.x. But it is easier to implement because it uses a modern web-based suite of API technology, including a HTTP-based RESTful protocol, HTML and Cascading Style Sheets for user interface integration, a choice of JSON or XML for data representation, OAuth for authorization and ATOM for results.〔 〕 One of its goals is to facilitate interoperation between legacy health care systems, to make it easy to provide health care information to health care providers and individuals on a wide variety of devices from computers to tablets to cell phones, and to allow third-party application developers to provide medical applications which can be easily integrated into existing systems. FHIR provides an alternative to document-centric approaches by directly exposing discrete data elements as services. For example, basic elements of healthcare like patients, admissions, diagnostic reports and medications can each be retrieved and manipulated via their own resource URLs. FHIR was supported at an American Medical Informatics Association meeting by companies like Cerner which value its open and extensible nature.〔 〕 ==Standardization== In February 2014, Health Level Seven International published FHIR as a "Draft Standard for Trial Use" (DSTU), Release 1, version DSTU 1 (v0.0.82).〔 〕 In December 2014, a broad cross-section of stakeholders committed to the Argonaut Project〔 〕 which will provide acceleration funding and political will to publish FHIR implementation guides and profiles for query/response interoperability and document retrieval by May 2015.〔 〕 It would then be possible for medical records systems to migrate from the current practice of exchanging complex Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) documents, and instead exchange sets of simpler, more modular and interoperable FHIR JSON objects.〔 〕 The initial goal, to be completed in time for the May 2015 HL7 FHIR Draft Standard for Trial Use revision 2 ballot, is to specify two FHIR profiles that are relevant to the Meaningful Use requirements, along with and an implementation guide for using OAuth 2.0 for authentication. 〔 〕 A DSTU version 2.1 ballot is anticipated in late 2015, and a full standard in 2017. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
