Introduction to FHIR for Research is a three-hour training course that aims to provide NIH research scientists and program officers with an understanding of how FHIR could impact their research, and how they can take advantage of it. This webinar covers the background and context of FHIR, what data and tools are available, and examples of research using FHIR. It is broken into three parts:

Part 1: Background and Context of FHIR
This section provides essential background and context on FHIR, including the history and evolution of the standard, its relation to similar frameworks, and its components and data structure.

Part 2: The FHIR Ecosystem
After discussing FHIR background, we'll next turn to discussing the broader ecosystem of FHIR systems and capabilities practitioners can hope to leverage. This section will explore the extent of systems, tools, and applications available to users.

Part 3: Working with FHIR
We will now explore a detailed set of applications for FHIR starting with a sampling of recent FHIR uses in both industry and academia. We will then provide a series of case studies leveraging both Python and R to demonstrate how FHIR can be used to extract and utilize medical data.

An introduction to logic modeling and how it may be used by public health programs. 

This presentation is a review of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and its relationship to public health. The recording is a presentation to the Tennessee Informatics Community of Practice.

This document is a companion to Section 1D of the Building Blocks Guide. It describes the steps required for HL7 message definition and provides additional information on the tools and topics discussed in the Guide, including the Implementation Workbook and the Message Validation Template.

Healthcare organizations have many reasons for bulk-data export, such as populating a data warehouse for operational or clinical analytics, leveraging population health and decision support tools from external vendors, and submitting data to registries and regulatory agencies. Today, bulk export is often accomplished with proprietary pipelines, and data transfer operations frequently involve an engineering and field mapping project. Learn about an exciting new effort by SMART and HL7 to bring the FHIR standard to bear on these challenges of bulk-data export.

This presentation will describe why testing is critical to the success of an interoperability project. We will review the different types of testing that are commonly performed during a project in more detail. Also, we will provide some tips and tricks to make your testing more successful.

This presentation reviews the history of the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides in general, some of the common aspects shared between them and how these standards are used together

This presentation discusses how the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides are written and some of the ways they are different from other v2 standards.

This presentation discusses how the values sets used by the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides are documented.

This presentation describes the use cases encompassed by the laboratory orders (LOI) implementation guide and details some of the unique features of the profiles defined in the standard.

This presentation describes the use case encompassed by the laboratory results (LRI) implementation guide and details some of the unique concepts in the standard including snapshot mode and parent-child linkages

This presentation describes some of the technical constraints included in the profiles used by the laboratory results (LRI) implementation guide.

The goal of this course is to help orient new informaticians to the HL7 V2 message structure and take a deep dive into message content.

A General Introduction to FHIR, presented by Richard Ettema at HL7 FHIR DevDays, June 2018, Boston, MA

The interoperability of data, and delivery of a consistent level of data quality, are critical factors in the National Digital Health Strategy – both for quality of immediate care, and for the development of longer-term health strategies. This is the first of a three-part webinar series looking at interoperability and clinical terminologies, with a particular focus on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a key standard for interoperable data in Australia.

This two-part presentation 1)provides content on: the History of LOINC as an organization and a community of users; a definition of LOINC and LOINC code basics; the LOINC concept model; the six LOINC axeses; and resources for learning more about LOINC. 2) an overview of a typical mapping project using LOINC.

This training will focus on; Preparing for change; What is change management; Why is change management important; Who is involved in change management; and​ When do you address change management in an interoperability approach. In addition, in the second part of this webinar we will touch on the “how” of change management with some high-level strategies for approaching change management in interoperability work.

In this presentation, we dive deep into NIST's General Validation Tool for evaluating the quality of v2 messages.

In this presentation, we provide an overview of the suite of tools developed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology to document v2 standards & test cases and to validate test messages against those requirements.

In this presentation, we will see how IG authors use profiles to add specific rules and constraints to the base standard to achieve the goals of the IG's use case.

In this presentation, we will examine some building blocks of the v2 IG, vocabulary, and data types.

In this presentation, we will look at the first sections of a v2 implementation guide to see how the documents set the context for interoperability.

This video presentation reviews how the authors of the existing newborn screening implementation guides describe the use of Acknowledgment messages. We also discuss the use of common error codes as a way to simplify addressing errors in processing.

This video presentation introduces the idea of using HL7 v2 Acknowledgment messages to communicate with data submitters. Acknowledgments are an important way to let submitters know when a message is processed and if any errors were encountered during processing.

This video presentation will explore the details of how FHIR resources are defined and used. We'll walk through examples to see how the FHIR standard is implemented to exchange real-world data.

This basic-level eLearning course provides an overview of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) – also known as a Laboratory Information System – and other information systems that play a key role in laboratory informatics. Included in the course are explorations of LIMS functionality, the role of the LIMS in interoperability, various regulations and standards regarding information systems and laboratory data, and the steps in implementing a LIMS.
