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.

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) profile
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.

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 eCQM Examples
The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) Examples is a webpage in the Quality Measure Implementation Guide containing example eCQMs using FHIR.
FHIR Implementation Guide Registry
The Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) Implementation Guide Registry is a list of many of the implementation guides defined by the FHIR community.
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.
