Abstract

As part of the CMS ONC Interoperability rules, HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) Standard defines how healthcare information can be exchanged between different systems irrespective of their formats. Even though FHIR describes the specific formats in which the data can be transferred, efficient mechanisms for this data conversion are not defined. Every organization have their own code systems and converting these huge codes to FHIR supporting codes will be a tedious task. This paper discusses about the current processes and how this process can be improved using technology. Key Words: FHIR, CMS ONC, Interoperability, Concept Map, HL7, Codeable Concept, Healthcare, US Healthcare
