When everyone is aligned on a common standard, healthcare technology can achieve powerful results. HL7® FHIR® has become the modern foundation for REST-based interoperability, enabling applications, systems, and devices to exchange health information in a flexible and scalable way.

FHIR’s growing adoption is supported by active collaboration across the healthcare industry, including standards development through HL7 and implementation-focused initiatives such as the Argonaut Project and Da Vinci Project, both of which accelerate real-world FHIR usage.

Because of this unified effort, any healthcare organization using FHIR-enabled systems—whether a hospital, clinic, or digital health platform—can seamlessly integrate with applications that also support FHIR. This exchange includes key datasets such as those defined within the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) and other core clinical, administrative, and patient-centric data elements.

FHIR continues to evolve, offering a modern, API-driven approach that strengthens interoperability, enhances patient access, and supports innovation across the healthcare ecosystem.
