Introduction to Interoperability, Standards and the Role of the Public Health Domain expert

The Public Health FHIR Playbook is designed by the Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative (PHFIC) to help state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies successfully implement FHIR, a standard for electronic health data exchange. PHFIC developed the Playbook to describe FHIR, its policy context, and steps that enable successful FHIR implementation at public health agencies.

Resources resulting from a Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative workshop include a high-level overview of FHIR, a more in-depth review of the rules, regulations, and policy framework behind interoperability, and a workshop summary.

A Fishbone document is used to explore the potential root causes of a problem.
