Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) profile

A Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) profile is a set of requirements and constraints placed on a resource. It can describe general features the system supports for that resource or information handled or produced according to a specific use case. Often, they include rules about which application programming interface features, terminologies, or resource elements the FHIR profile uses or does not use.


Feasibility criterion

The feasibility criterion assesses the extent to which the specifications, including measure logic, require readily available data or could be captured without undue burden and can be implemented for performance measurement. 


Federal Register

The Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and other presidential documents. The Federal Register is published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration.


FHIR

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) is an open-source Health Level Seven International® standard for exchanging health care information electronically. It is the next generation exchange framework being adopted by the health care community to advance interoperability.


FHIR Implementation Guide Registry

The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) Implementation Guide Registry is a searchable online catalog of published FHIR implementation guides. It helps users find guides by showing basic details like who created them, what they cover, their version, and where to access them.


FHIR Quality Measure Implementation Guide

The intent of the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) Quality Measure Implementation Guide (IG) or QM IG is to provide guidance on the representation of electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) using the FHIR® Clinical Reasoning Module, Quality Improvement (QI)-Core IG, and Clinical Quality Language (CQL). It provides requirements for the use of measure structure, metadata, definitions, and logic when authoring and evaluating eCQMs.


FHIR Servers - Public Testing Servers

Health Level Seven International® (HL7®) provides a list of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) servers publicly available for testing. These are public services provided by volunteers and HL7® makes no representations concerning their safety or reliability.


FHIR Terminology Service for VSAC Resources

The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) Terminology Service for Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) Resources is a representational state transfer application programming interface service for accessing the VSAC value sets and supported code systems. It assumes working knowledge of FHIR resources. Access requires a free Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) license.


Future state

Future state is a model integrating the downstream work of informatics, implementation, communication, and evaluation into the guideline or measure development process.
