The project uses Fast Healthcare Interoperability Standards to combine patient information stored in separate systems.
“Using FHIR, we can combine information about a specific patient stored in systems developed by different vendors and installed in different healthcare institutions,” Titus Schleyer, PhD, an investigator with Regenstrief Institute, said in a statement. “This brings us much closer to a ‘lingua franca’ for health information, so clinicians finally have complete information available about their patients.”
