HL7 FHIR Mastery: A Course for Newbies and Pros

Description

There are likely several hundred or even thousands of standards that healthcare organizations may need to comply with, depending on country or region, the type of services they provide, and the regulatory bodies governing them.

In this lecture we will only review a few standards that have directly or indirectly influenced the development of the HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources or FHIR standard.

The primary audience for this course is software developers, software testers, interface analysts, system integrators, and other professionals seeking an organized guide to the HL7 FHIR standard documentation.

As a software developer who is just starting to learn HL7 FHIR and wants to grasp the basics as quickly as possible, I have organized the learning process in a way that prioritizes the topics I recommend you learn first, what you should absorb next, and which topics can be skipped for the time being.

This approach is designed to help you optimize your learning and get up to speed with the FHIR standard as efficiently as possible.

Upon completion of this course, you should have a solid understanding of FHIR in general, know how to navigate different sections of the standard effectively, and gain insight into the third-party standards necessary to implement your specific healthcare requirements successfully.
