It leverages web technology to access and exchange data across electronic systems. But what exactly is FHIR, and how is it different from traditional standards?
Join this presentation by Dr. Russell Leftwich, a recognized FHIR expert who serves on the HL7 International Board, to learn the latest developments on the evolution of FHIR and its current implementations. Dr. Leftwich will discuss three innovative apps disrupting the healthcare market.
In this webinar you will learn:

- How companies are already using FHIR in innovative ways despite it being in its infancy.
- What FHIR and its capabilities mean for the future of interoperability in healthcare.
