Digital Square on FHIR®: FHIR Webinars

Digital Square on FHIR®

FHIR is a global health standard that defines how health care information can be exchanged between different computer systems, regardless of how it is stored in those systems. FHIR, a standard that is vital for exchanging health care information electronically, has seen unprecedented success around the globe. Its applications range from small development groups to large technology companies and governmental organizations. The FHIR standard is particularly adequate for use in low-resource settings to achieve more equitable health outcomes.

As part of our engagement with countries and the broader global goods community, we support the development of and adherence to standards like FHIR. To this end, Digital Square hosts a series of webinars for knowledge sharing and continued learning to support implementation teams’ widespread development and understanding of FHIR and other industry standards and best practices. Navigating the FHIR ecosystem can seem challenging, and with these webinars, Digital Square’s goal is to support those implementing the standard by offering tutorials, a space to engage with each other, and share insight and support. Through this series, we are also learning about what organizations – and countries – need to realize the full potential of standards to improve how digital systems can more broadly support health services. This adds value to the community and helps us contribute back to the standards.
