FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a standard describing data formats and elements (known as "resources") and an application programming interface (API) for exchanging electronic health records. FHIR is developed by HL7 (Health Level Seven International), a not-for-profit organization focused on providing a comprehensive framework and related standards for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information. The FHIR/HL7 certification signifies that a software application, product, or individual has demonstrated proficiency in understanding and using these standards. Industries use FHIR/HL7 certification to ensure that their products and staff can effectively communicate and manage healthcare data in interoperable systems.
