3 Topics for Today My brief overview of FHIR Uses of FHIR The Argonaut Experience The FHIR Community and Connectathons Coming Attractions

4 What Matters Most to HL7 HL7 Vision: A world in which everyone can securely access and use the right health data when and where they need it. HL7 Mission: to empower global health data interoperability by developing the best, right standards and enabling their adoption and implementation.

11 Some Basics of FHIR A next generation standards framework & platform, built on 30 years’ experience, designed for implementation RESTful Services technology (used by Facebook, Twitter…) Flexible outputs: messages, documents, data, services Based on Resources: essential modular information components easily assembled into working systems.

12 Principles of FHIR Data resides at the source of truth APIs access data: pull what you need, instead of only getting what’s pushed Focus on implementers Include rigorous semantics Design for the common 80%; extensions for the rest Off-the-shelf security and authorization Speed, scalability, ease of understanding Everything is human readable and free.

15 JASON Task Force & the Argonauts

* JASON Task Force recommendations on market-based interoperability governance and coordination, and call to action on “public APIs” * Market experience with MU 2 and associated certification *Industry desire to involve private sector and bring market discipline to standards development Argonaut Project Origins

The Argonaut Project Leverages the work of other initiatives such as the S&I framework and SMART Accelerates the maturation of FHIR for the industry Open to all participants Argonaut is not an organization, competitive or proprietary in nature.

20 Some Argonaut Tasks Accelerate the market readiness of the FHIR specification Support the creation of a community of FHIR implementers Prioritize and create implementation guides for querying common MU dataset, CCDA, provider directory, security and authorization Support conformance testing, and publish results Continuous improvement through frequent sprints.

25 Some Lessons from Argonaut Argonaut has proven speed of FHIR development (from several months to 2 week sprints) Competitors are willing to collaborate for interoperability Foundation is in place, but more needed (search parameters, granularity) Rapid increase in market demand for Argonaut and FHIR (provider directories, Sync4Science, ONC calls for patient apps) Need to define market ecosystem (terms, IP, safety, contracts) Source: Micky Tripathi

27 FHIR Connectathons

28 May 2016 Connectathon Tracks

29 Clinicians on FHIR Periodic workshops where clinicians collaborate with FHIR developers Goal to engage clinicians in evaluating fit for purpose of FHIR resources in use case snippets built around clinical workflows. Clinicians interact with FHIR developers, using a tool (ClinFHIR) to build and visualize resource instances and simple profiles.

Clinicians Using ClinFhir

31 The HL7 Partners in Interoperability is a coalition of various stakeholders, including Medical Societies, BioPharma, and the Payer community, paving a path toward interoperability Next meeting planned for October

32 More than 200 clinical organizations, IT developers, government agencies and healthcare systems worldwide are now committed to developing FHIR applications

33 A 2-day FHIR Roundtable of implementations and deployed applications will be held at Harvard Medical School, Boston on July 27-28

34 The mission of the newly announced FHIR Foundation is the support of implementers and implementation* *FHIR.org

35 What’s Next for FHIR? STU 3 ballot: Sign-up July 27 (Resources, Workflow) Baltimore Connectathon Sept. 17 New product roadmap: RDF / Base Ontology work Fluentpath and a new mapping language Clinical decision support resources CIMI / logical model development.

36 A Normative version of FHIR is planned for the Spring of 2017
