Abstract

FHIR has strong focus on implementation. This is manifest by – amongst others – running regular connectathons, and publishing a safety checklist, providing open source tools and reference implementations. 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. One really common and important method for handling security is to use SMART on FHIR.
