Course Overview
This course introduces HL7 FHIR from beginner to intermediate level, helping participants understand modern healthcare data exchange standards. FHIR is now the most widely adopted interoperability framework across hospitals, EHR vendors, digital health platforms, and mobile health apps. Participants learn how FHIR resources work, how APIs exchange data, how FHIR improves interoperability, and how basic implementations are done in real healthcare environments. The course uses simple language, visual examples, and practical demonstrations—ideal for both technical and non-technical learners.
Learning Objectives
- Understand HL7, interoperability basics, and why FHIR is important
- Identify and interpret core FHIR resources
- Understand JSON structure and FHIR fields at a beginner level
- Use FHIR APIs for basic data exchange tasks
- Understand profiling, extensions, and constraints (intermediate level)
- Navigate FHIR servers and perform simple operations
- Apply FHIR concepts to real healthcare workflows
- Confidently analyze common errors and validation issues
Target Audience
- Healthcare IT staff
- Medical coders & health informatics learners
- Digital health developers (no coding required for this course)
- Managers & supervisors in healthcare operations
- Clinical staff working with EHR systems
- Students entering health informatics or digital health roles
- Anyone preparing for deeper HL7/FHIR training
