About
HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is transforming the way healthcare systems exchange and interpret data. Designed to be web-friendly, modern, and developer-accessible, FHIR provides a standard for representing and sharing health information across different systems and organisations. This learning package offers a practical and accessible introduction to HL7 FHIR, tailored specifically for professionals working with Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (EPMA) systems and digital clinical systems. You’ll explore the building blocks of FHIR, including resources, profiles, and APIs, and understand how FHIR is enabling smarter, more connected healthcare delivery. Whether you're a digital pharmacist, clinical informatician, or a health IT specialist, this package will equip you with the foundational knowledge and context to navigate FHIR in real-world settings, with a special focus on EPMA-related data flows, integration with EPR's, and medication standards. By the end, you’ll be able to: - Explain the core principles and structure of HL7 FHIR - Recognise key FHIR resources relevant to EPMA (e.g. MedicationRequest, MedicationStatement) - Understand how FHIR supports safer, standards-based interoperability in healthcare - Identify the role of FHIR APIs in modern digital health ecosystems - Apply FHIR concepts to real-world EPMA integration scenarios No prior coding experience is required, this course is designed for beginners and non-technical professionals in digital healthcare.
