FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is an HL7 standard for representing healthcare information electronically. It is based on a series of Resources, which define common representations for different kinds of healthcare data. You can find the current version of the FHIR specification at https://www.hl7.org/fhir/index.html.

Intellectual Property Considerations

While this implementation guide and the underlying FHIR are licensed as public domain, this guide may include examples making use of terminologies such as LOINC, SNOMED CT and others which have more restrictive licensing requirements. Implementers should make themselves familiar with licensing and any other constraints of terminologies, questionnaires, and other components used as part of their implementation process. In some cases, licensing requirements may limit the systems that data captured using certain questionnaires may be shared with.
