Abstract

FHIR has strong focus on implementation. This is manifest by running regular connectathons, providing open source tools and reference implementations, open working servers, and many more things. Implementers must make many decisions—e.g. XML or JSON—when implementing FHIR. Security is an important aspect of implementation. FHIR lays down a general architecture for security and defines some specific functionality for security labels. Because of the way that healthcare works, national specifications are very important, and the US Core Implementation Guide will be the most influential of all.
