Abstract

In the last chapter, we looked at the evolution of standards and examined the key health data standards. For use in actual patient care standardized clinical data, typically along with other non-standardized data such as free text notes, must be packaged into a useful and usable form and sent using widely accepted data sharing standards and approaches. Today, with the release of the first ‘normative’ version of FHIR in late December 2018, the packaging is increasingly FHIR and access to it is via the FHIR REST APIs. We will look at FHIR in detail in the next chapter. In this one we will look at the standards for packaging and sharing data that predated it.
