CareEvolution’s HIEBus™ FHIR Application Programming Interface (API) provides a uniform way for patients and clinicians to access health data through site-approved mobile and web applications.
FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a healthcare data exchange standard published by the HL7 organization. You can view the full standard at the HL7 website.
The FHIR interface is focused on modular health data components called resources. A Patient is a resource, as is a Medication. Resources stand on their own, but may have relationships with each other. An Encounter may relate back to a particular Patient and involve several Observations.
CareEvolution’s FHIR Interface implements the US Core Implementation Guide, which establishes guidelines for security, use cases, and data sets.
The FHIR interface supports three main use cases:
This guide is geared towards developers creating the aforementioned web or mobile applications to access health data from CareEvolution’s HIEBus systems.
The FHIR standard has gone through several revisions since its inception, and no doubt will go through more as time goes on. Each revision is given a version number and name by the HL7 organization. Published final revisions of the FHIR standard include:
Version Number | Version Name |
---|---|
1.0.2 | DSTU2 |
3.0.1 | STU3 |
4.0.1 | R4 |
When interacting with a system, it’s important to know which version of the FHIR standard the system is using. Each version defines different resources, data for those resources, and operations you can perform with them. Some systems may support multiple versions, allowing you to choose which one to use.
By using the HIEBus FHIR Interface, you agree to the following Terms of Use.
