Lack of FHIR knowledge is a real problem for businesses building solutions using FHIR.
Sometimes it feels like FHIR onboarding never ends.
New project leads, new product people, new teams of developers — all encountering FHIR for the first time.
For business and product leaders new to FHIR, my go to video is James Agnew’s “Intro to FHIR”.
It covers everything a you need to know in plain English. No jargon, no complexity, no long winded explanations.
- The origins of FHIR back in the HL7 v3 days
- The data model, with its 145 resource types
- The REST API and what it means for interoperability
- How regulations have impacted FHIR adoption
- Implementation Guides
All the basics and enough of the detail so that you can talk to your teams about FHIR with a degree of confidence.
As far as onboarding goes, James’s video is as good as it gets. It runs to almost 2 hours but it’s worth the time.
