Getting FHIRed up FHIR, what the heck is that? FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a standard developed by HL7 (Health Level Seven International) for exchanging healthcare information electronically. It is designed to enable interoperability between different healthcare systems, allowing them to share and use data efficiently. Aha, interoperability, that’s why TestingSaaS is interested. And it’s about healthcare, something I’m also interested in, due to my biology background and family who died of cancer. So, that gives me a basis for motivation and purpose to learn more about FHIR. And it’s #AzureTuesday, what’s the connection with Microsoft Azure? Azure and FHIR are closely related through Microsoft's Azure Health Data Services, which provides a managed platform for storing, analyzing, and sharing healthcare data based on the FHIR standard. And there is a lot more, but that’s for another LinkedIn post. How Azure Health Data Services works is visualized in the attached picture with the following stages: - Ingest the health data - Convert the data to FHIR format - Analysis of the data - Data intelligence All done with Azure products as seen. This post gives you just a glimpse of the service. I still hope this gives you an idea how Azure takes part in today’s healthcare. Questions or remarks? All welcome in the comments or DM me. Till next time!

As we step into 2024, the journey toward seamless data exchange in healthcare remains challenging. Did you know that almost half of the hospitals (48%) suffer from one-sided data exchange, as reported by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)? They share patient data with other providers but don't receive data from them.   Sasha Andrieiev explains why the road ahead may be complex, but the destination promises a revolutionized approach to patient care via Forbes: https://bit.ly/3Rahhad | #Interoperability #HealthData #HealthDataExchange
