Abstract

Fast Healthcare Interoperability resource, aka FHIR is the latest standard to be developed under the HL7 organization and pronounced as "Fire". It combines the best features of HL7’s earlier and current versions and also leverages the latest in web services technologies. Unlike its predecessors, where the design is based on Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) services , FHIR’s design is based on RESTful web services and built using modular components.

FHIR is expected to be commonly in use under mobile apps area (mobile health apps, mobile device integration, mobile workflow) according to Eliot of Interfaceware.com: "For vendors, it represents an opportunity to offer more value to their clients and build new revenue streams. For end users this offers ways to streamline and improve patient care and drive down bottom line costs."[1]
